John --

Right now, in Texas, partisan redistricting efforts are once again making headlines and fueling further division in the state and nationally. If successful, these efforts in Texas have huge national implications and will impact you no matter where you live.

Republican lawmakers, pushed by the White House, are attempting to change district lines to help Republicans hold their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026 mid-term elections. Democrats in states like California, Illinois and New York are threatening to retaliate with their own redistricting efforts - creating a political arms race with voters ultimately losing the most.

Our Executive Chair, Lt. Governor Kerry Healey dives deep on the terrible effects of Gerrymandering and why we should all be against it - regardless of party. Click the image below to watch her 3 minute video!
