I’m not going far. My next opportunity allows me to continue telling stories and will let me keep serving this community that I love. I’m excited for what’s next.

Thank you, Kansas City. (5/5)

After 18 years in broadcasting, I’ve decided to hang up the microphone.

Today is my last weekend morning newscast at @kmbc. My final day on air will be Tuesday. (1/5)

[Matt Evans @MattEvansKC]

There are too many highlights to list from my time here. I am full of gratitude for all these great experiences and the amazing people I’ve met along the way. (4/5)

Standing room only as the Missouri Senate begins their work this afternoon.

They’ll quickly go through their annual Veto Session before starting the Special Session on redistricting and initiative petition reform.

Noon at the state Capitol.

Rally was moved into the rotunda as there was some confusion over the location.

Long line to get in the building.

The doors to the Senate (which is set to gavel in at noon) remain locked with staff holding a meeting at the back of the chambers.

[Matt Evans @MattEvansKC]

The day begins in Jefferson City with a gathering in the rotunda led by House and Senate Democrats.

The Missouri Senate will begin their work on new congressional maps this afternoon as a large rally is planned on the south lawn at noon.

Missouri House Democrats speaking to throngs of reporters after the House sent a new congressional map to the Senate this afternoon.

House Republicans won’t be holding a press conference following the vote.

The Senate begins work tomorrow.

The House is back to work this morning and officially sends Initiative Petition Reform to the Senate, meant to make changing the state constitution much more difficult. Here’s the final vote tally.

Now onto new congressional maps meant to send another Republican to DC.

[Matt Evans @MattEvansKC]

#BREAKING The Missouri House gives initial approval to the redistricting maps by a vote of 89-63. Here’s the roll call.

Several Republicans including the House Speaker broke ranks and voted against the map.

It has one more vote in the House tomorrow morning.

[Matt Evans @MattEvansKC]

It’s officially #moleg after dark. A common theme in the Senate, but a rarity in the House.

We are entering hour six of this afternoon’s House session.

After spending two hours on IP Reform, lawmakers are now debating this new map meant to send another Republican to Congress.

[Matt Evans @MattEvansKC]

#BREAKING: The Missouri House gives initial approval to major initiative petition reform that would require a majority of voters in each congressional district for those ideas to pass.

Here’s the roll call vote with several GOP defections and Speaker Jon Patterson voting no.

The KC Metro is divided ahead of the @Mizzou @KU_Football Border War game today.

Missouri is the latest state to try to attempt to redraw congressional maps ahead of next year's midterms.

The special session kicked off yesterday and it's clear emotions are running high at the state capitol.

Here is some of our coverage from last night on @kmbc:

[Matt Evans @MattEvansKC]

.@GovMikeKehoe makes it official just before 4:30pm the Friday before Labor Day weekend.

Missouri is entering the national redistricting fray.

Here are the first looks at the proposed congressional map that slices KC into 3 districts.

Special session begins Wednesday.

A grim milestone in Kansas City.

There have now been 100 homicides in 2025. That includes a teenage girl who was shot and killed last night near 36th and Norton. She was inside a home there when gunfire came from outside and hit her.

@QuintonLucasKC just issued this statement:
