Indiana Conservation Voters' statement on Washington’s continued mid-decade redistricting push

Thursday, October 9, 2025 at 6:00 PM

Indiana Conservation Voters issued the following statement today following the announcement that Vice President J.D. Vance will return to Indiana again to push Washington’s unpopular mid-decade redistricting plan. The outside push for redistricting began in early August.

“Hoosiers have been more than clear on this issue over the past two months: We don’t want Washington outsiders telling us how to run our state. Attempts to redraw Indiana’s legislative maps in the middle of the decade are unfair, unnecessary and out of step with hard-working Hoosiers’ priorities.

“What’s more, they want to come into our state and tell us what to do with our legislative process while the federal government is shut down. Maybe they should just stay in Washington and clean up their own mess instead of disrupting our lives and our state with their political shenanigans.

“Indiana leaders should continue to reject this distraction from D.C. and stay focused on the real issues that matter to Hoosiers: inflation, energy costs and taxes.”

Indiana Conservation Voters and other pro-democracy groups will rally Hoosiers opposed to mid-decade redistricting at the Indiana Statehouse Friday at noon.
