DCCC Executive Director Julie Merz released the following statement after a congressional map was submitted for consideration by the Illinois State Legislature:
“Last week, a proposed congressional map was submitted to state legislative leaders in Illinois for their consideration. Importantly, the map preserves Black and Hispanic representation in key districts across the state, is VRA compliant, and keeps together communities of interest.
“It’s clear that Trump and Republicans are weaponizing mid-decade redistricting in order to prevent a check on their administration and the substantive damage they have already inflicted on the American people. Our democracy is at stake, which is why Springfield must act with haste to preserve it.”
