Texas Republicans are trying to rig the game, John.
At the urging of Trump’s political team, nearly every Texas Republican in the House met to discuss a plan to redraw our state’s congressional map. Their goal? Gerrymander districts even more aggressively so they stay in power after the midterm elections no matter how unpopular their agenda becomes.
They’re pushing Governor Abbott to call a special legislative session to redraw district lines mid-decade – an extremely rare and deeply undemocratic move.
Why are they doing this? Beto put it best:
Instead of trying to improve the lives of working Texans, Republicans would rather push Donald Trump’s unpopular agenda and rewrite the rules to make sure they win no matter what.
Texas deserves better. That’s why Powered by People is fighting back. We’re on the ground right now registering as many voters as possible and organizing communities to protect our democracy at the ballot box. But we need a powerful grassroots movement if we’re going to win in 2026.
Thank you for being in this fight with us,
