News release provided by the Indiana Conservation Voters.
Indiana Senate Republicans announced today that they do not have enough votes to support mid-decade redistricting following months of political pressure from Washington outsiders who want Hoosier lawmakers to redraw the state’s Congressional maps just a few years after they were last approved.
As of yesterday, nearly 20,000 Hoosiers had contacted state lawmakers asking them not to pursue mid-decade redistricting.
Statement from Megan Robertson, Executive Director of Indiana Conservation Voters:
“Today’s news from the Indiana Senate is proof that Hoosiers are being heard. Lawmakers are standing strong against political pressure from Washington. It’s clear they care deeply about our state and are putting Hoosiers first. That’s something we can all be proud of.
“We are grateful to members of the Senate who have listened to what Hoosiers across the state are saying loud and clear: mid-decade redistricting is unnecessary, unpopular and unfair.
“We hope Governor Braun will embrace this opportunity to show the same kind of leadership, working with lawmakers to address real issues impacting families, like rising energy bills, property taxes and the cost of living.”
