Letter to Larry Hogan, Governor of Maryland - National Redistricting Reform

Letter

Dear Governor Hogan,

As an original co-sponsor of the Redistricting Reform Act of 2015, federal legislation to end the partisan drawing of congressional districts throughout the country, I read with interest your proposal for a non-partisan congressional redistricting committee in Maryland. I am open to reviewing your proposal for a commission here in Maryland, and I hope you will join me in calling upon Speaker Boehner to allow a vote on our federal legislation for national redistricting reform.

I trust you will agree that it makes more sense to have one set of nonpartisan rules for the entire country rather than a state-by-state approach that can be used to disadvantage one party over the other at the national level. Will you join me in calling upon Speaker Boehner to do for the nation what you propose to do in Maryland?

Sincerely,

Chris Van Hollen
