John — This is Governor Kathy Hochul.
Right now, Texas Republicans are rewriting the rules to give themselves an advantage.
But I have a news flash for Republicans in Texas: This is no longer the Wild West. We're not going to tolerate our democracy being stolen by a bunch of self-serving politicians.
Americans don't want a system that's stacked against them. They believe in fairness — it's fundamental.
That is why I welcomed the courageous Democratic Texas legislators to the New York state Capitol. These leaders have taken a bold stand against extreme Republican efforts to gerrymander their state to silence the voices of millions, especially Black and Latino communities in Texas.

John, history will judge us and how we respond to this moment.
Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules to give themselves an advantage.
The gloves are off, and I say, bring it on.
Across the country, our democracy is under attack by Republicans who want to make it harder for people to be heard. But we won't go down without a fight.
Please chip in to EMILYs List and my work to fight back against these anti-democratic schemes. John, the more of us who join this movement, the harder it is for anyone to silence our voices:
Democracy is not a spectator sport — it's up to all of us to protect it. I won't back down, and neither should you.
Thank you for standing with me and with those fighting on the frontlines in Texas.
Ever Upward,
Gov. Kathy Hochul
