Missouri sees most U.S. House candidates since at least 2014

The filing deadline for candidates running for Congress in Missouri this year was March 29, 2022. Fifty-nine candidates are running in Missouri’s eight U.S. House districts, including 22 Democrats and 37 Republicans. That’s 7.37 candidates per district, more than the five candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.87 in 2018.

Here are some other highlights from this year’s filings:

  • This is the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Missouri was apportioned eight districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.
  • The 59 candidates running this year are the most candidates running for Missouri’s U.S. House seats since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.
