About the Sixth District

While the Sixth District is diverse in its distance from point to point covering more square miles than five states in the nation, it is unified by the hardworking and caring values of the people that live there.

The Sixth Congressional District in Missouri covers most of northwest and north-central Missouri, stretching from the Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas borders to North Kansas City and Eastern Jackson County.  The district generally runs north along the Missouri River from the Kansas border to the Cooper County line east of Boonville.  South of the Missouri River, the district also encompasses part of Eastern Jackson County and most of Blue Springs.  The district's eastern edge runs from Cooper County to Schuyler County, encompassing all of Howard, Chariton, Linn, Sullivan, and Mercer Counties.  To see a map of the Sixth Congressional District, please click here.

The Sixth District consists of 26 counties: Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Clay, Clinton, Cooper, Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Holt, Howard, part of Jackson, Linn, Livingston, Mercer, Nodaway, Platte, Putnam, Schuyler, Sullivan, and Worth.

The district is diverse, combining the Kansas City suburbs north of the Missouri River and Eastern Jackson County, with rural, predominantly agricultural parts of north and central Missouri.
