Boone, Franklin, and a portion of St. Charles County comprise the highest voting centers of the mostly rural district. It is currently represented by Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer.
Some of the most famous representatives to represent the 9th congressional district have been Speaker of the House Champ Clark; James Broadhead, the first president of the American Bar Association; Clarence Cannon, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee; Isaac Parker, a judge depicted in True Grit; James Sidney Rollins who known as the "Father of the University of Missouri"; and Kenny Hulshof, unsuccessful candidate to become Governor of Missouri.
Dissolving following 2010 Census
The District will be dissolved in 2013 after Missouri lost a Congressional seat following the 2010 Census. Initial redistricting maps place most of the district north of the Missouri River in a redrawn Missouri's 6th congressional district and most of the rest of the district in a redrawn Missouri's 3rd congressional district.[1]

George W. Bush defeated John Kerry 59% to 41% in this district in 2004. In 2008, Rep. Kenny Hulshof announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for Governor of Missouri. As a whole, the 9th district leans towards the Republican Party, with the exception being Columbia, which often leans towards the Democratic Party.
