| Following reporting confirming that the North Carolina General Assembly passed a new, further gerrymandered Congressional map, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement:
“Republicans know that their disastrous track record that makes life harder for working families, rips away affordable health care, and does nothing to lower prices is going to cost them the House majority next year.
“This extreme gerrymandered map, their fifth in as many years, was clearly drawn to dilute the voting power of Black voters by dismantling the Black Belt to stop North Carolinians from holding Trump and House Republicans accountable for ignoring the needs of hardworking Americans.
“Voters should pick their representatives – not the other way around. Today’s corrupt action by Raleigh Republicans, under orders from their party bosses in D.C., is not the final word. The DCCC is going to continue the fight against this illegal map in the courts and use every tool at our disposal to support North Carolinians in stopping this desperate attack on their voting rights.” |
