I am deeply concerned about the ongoing threat of gerrymandering in Indiana, particularly in light of recent efforts by the Trump administration to manipulate district boundaries in Republican-controlled states before the 2026 midterms. This blatant attempt to rig our elections is not only unethical but also costly to Indiana taxpayers. Gerrymandering is nothing short of cheating. It undermines the very foundation of our democracy by allowing politicians to choose their voters, rather than voters choosing their representatives. We must call this what it is: a deliberate effort to manipulate election outcomes and silence the voices of Hoosiers. The consequences of giving in to these demands are severe. If Indiana Republicans comply with Trump's gerrymandering efforts, we can expect lengthy and expensive legal battles that will drain our state's resources. These funds could be better spent on education, healthcare, or infrastructure improvements that would benefit all Hoosiers. I urge you to take a strong stand against any attempts to redraw district lines for partisan gain. We need fair maps that accurately represent our communities and ensure that every vote counts equally. Please commit to supporting independent redistricting commissions and transparent mapping processes that prioritize community interests over party politics. The integrity of our elections is at stake. As your constituent, I ask you to publicly oppose these gerrymandering efforts and work towards implementing fair redistricting practices in Indiana. Our state's democracy depends on your leadership in this critical moment. Act now to protect the voice and vote of every Hoosier.
