The proposed Republican efforts to aggressively redraw Texas' congressional districts raise significant concerns about partisan gerrymandering and the disenfranchisement of voters. Texas is already badly gerrymandered, to the point that my and my wife’s votes at the state level are meaningless. This proposed redistricting will only exacerbate that problem. Manipulating district boundaries solely for partisan gain undermines the principles of fair representation and risks further marginalizing certain communities. While some redistricting is necessary after each census, it should be done impartially to ensure all voters have an equal voice, not to give one party an unfair advantage. I urge you to reject proposals that would further radically gerrymander districts, and instead insist on a nonpartisan process that protects the integrity of our elections and the fundamental rights of all Texans to have their voices heard.
