The Senate sponsor for China Hub could face opposition from his own party in this year's election. |
|---|---|
| RunTime: | 0:41 |
| OutCue: | SOC |
Wrap: Opposition is from St. Louis Republican Senator Lembke who has yet to file for a Senate seat, because he's waiting for the approval of the new district map.
Lembke says he's assessing districts where he is most likely to win, and filing for the fifteenth district is an option.

| Description: "I would consider filing for a different district and if we after making the assessment of the new map and the new first district if we believe that it's not winnable then I have the option to file for the 15th for instance, and I would consider it. | |
But this would mean he'd be running against fellow St. Louis County Republican Senator Eric Schmitt.
Schmitt was unavailable for comment.

| Description: "I'm challenging it right now, I think there's some major constitutional questions and problems, that'll come out I guess in the courts and it's unfortunate that were in this situation because all it does is raise costs of this litigation, costs and time." | |
Cunningham says she doesn't expect to end up in the Kansas City district, and will get the seventh district back where it belongs.
