NRCC Adds MO-05 to Target List

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) today announced Missouri’s 5th congressional district, represented by Democrat Emanuel Cleaver, is being added to its target list, further expanding the offensive battlefield across the country as House Republicans build momentum toward expanding the majority.

“Emmanuel Cleaver spent years rubber-stamping the Democrats’ out of touch agenda while ignoring the voters he claims to represent. Missouri’s Fifth District is no longer a safe haven for career politicians and Cleaver will be sent packing this fall.”  – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

Background:

• Emanuel Cleaver was named the most vulnerable member of Congress.
• Under the new congressional lines, President Trump won Missouri’s Fifth District by 18.4%.
