Today, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement after Utah’s Third District Court ruled that the state’s congressional map must be redrawn;
“Today’s ruling is a victory for democracy. In throwing out the current, gerrymandered congressional map, voters in Utah will now have an opportunity to elect leaders that best represent their values, and not have their representation dictated by politicians.
“This choice is what the current debate in Utah and other states is about – a free and fair midterm election. Donald Trump and House Republicans know they cannot win the midterms based on their abysmal governing record, so they are actively attempting to rig the outcome before a single vote is cast. Around the country, we are seeing citizens fight back against these corrupt schemes. I am grateful for the bipartisan group of plaintiffs and community advocates who have been relentless in the fight for fair districts in Utah since 2017 and hope a compliant map will be put in place with no further delay.
“The DCCC will continue to work everyday to ensure a House of Representatives where all citizens are represented equally.”
