[constituency_baseline] District summary: Missouri's 4th Congressional District covers a large swath of west-central and south-central Missouri, encompassing rural counties south and east of Kansas City, the Lake of the Ozarks resort corridor, and extending toward the Ozark highlands. The district is anchored by Fort Leonard Wood (the U.S. Army's largest training installation, generating approximately $2 billion in annual economic impact for the surrounding Pulaski County area), Lake of the Ozarks tourism and retirement communities, and extensive agricultural production including corn, soybeans, cattle, and hog operations. The district is heavily Republican — Cook PVI approximately R+28 — and predominantly white, rural, and working-class outside of military family communities near Fort Leonard Wood. Alford represented the district without a serious general election opponent in both 2022 and 2024. The district has above-average military and veteran population shares, significant Medicaid enrollment in its rural counties, and documented rural hospital financial stress. Several MO-04 counties are federally designated Health Professional Shortage Areas.
