Lofgren Applauds Supreme Court Redistricting Decision, Calls on Congress to Pass Further Reforms
Statement
Issues: Government Operations Elections
"Voters in several states -- including California -- chose to create independent redistricting commissions to put an end to using redistricting as a partisan political tool. Today's ruling upholds that choice, and is an important victory for open and transparent governance.
"Congress can build on this ruling by passing the Redistricting Reform Act to end partisan gerrymandering throughout the nation. This is a bipartisan issue that needs bipartisan support to create a fair and accountable process that puts voters -- not politicians -- first."
