Texas Gov. Greg Abbott orders lawmakers to consider redistricting as GOP seeks midterm advantage

Gerrymandering is one of the gravest threats to our democracy. Instead of voters choosing their representatives, gerrymandering is when representatives choose their voters. That's how those in power rig our elections and they do it openly.

Republicans narrowly won a majority in the House and now Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a special session with redistricting ahead of next year's midterms to further cement their overrepresentation.

Republicans Texas could unseat many of their 12 Democrats just by redrawing lines on a map. It's undemocratic. ➪

Texas 2024 Election Map

TEXAS
GOP Share of Votes: 58%
GOP Share of Seats: 66% (+8%)

If the share of seats was proportional to the popular vote, Republicans wouldn't have won a Majority.

And that's why they're scared to face voters next year.

We need to be ready to mobilize in Texas to defend progressive champions against MAGA extremists. Greg Abbott is overplaying his hand: that's why we're asking for your support today to make this BACKFIRE. ➪

Path to Progress is a no-holds-barred, youth-led multimedia organization working to advance progressive policy goals and hold politicians accountable through digestible digital content and groundbreaking policy proposals.

After the first month of Trump's second term, we became the first organization to call for his impeachment. Our petition demanding Congress begin impeachment proceedings has reached thousands of signatures. Trump's attack on birthright citizenship and subversion of Congress's powers are blatantly unconstitutional and constitute high crimes and misdemeanors. We're telling every Member of Congress: decorum can wait, but democracy can’t.

Sign the Petition: Impeach Trump!

We are the only progressive think tank led by Gen Z for Gen Z.

Path to Progress will support candidates and policies which are both viable and, more importantly, friendly to Gen Z. We will produce content and publish policy proposals that show our frustration with systemic issues while encouraging actionable steps to increase youth voter turnout and ensure that election winners are as progressive as possible.
