Make your voice on gerrymandering heard at the House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting hearing in Houston this Saturday July 26
“There are reports that Republicans will try to redraw as many as five currently Democratic districts—from South Texas and Houston to Dallas and possibly Austin—to favor the GOP to flip in the upcoming midterms.
Governor Greg Abbott has put redistricting on his call for the current special legislative session, which convened Monday, citing the need to address constitutional concerns around a few specific racially gerrymandered congressional districts in Houston and DFW (something Trump’s Department of Justice quite conveniently chose to criticize and about which the Texas GOP has never before cared).”
The House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting will meet to hear public testimony on congressional redistricting in Houston this Saturday, July 26 at 11 a.m.
