Hi John, it’s Julie with an urgent update on Texas’ congressional maps: 

“Texas appeals ruling that Trump-urged voting map is racial gerrymandering”

This is absolutely ridiculous, John. 

Under Texas’ Trump-backed maps, white voters would have controlled 70% of the Congressional districts, even though they only accounted for 40 percent of the population – a CLEAR case of racial gerrymandering. 

Yet Abbott, Paxton, and their MAGA buddies will stop at NOTHING to hold onto their Republican majority, even if it means disenfranchising millions of Texas voters in the process. 

No matter what happens with this appeal, I’m committed to fighting for my seat and for the rights of every single Texan to fair representation. Fuel my fight by chipping in a donation to my re-election campaign today, or keep scrolling to read more about the court’s decision. >>

Hi John, it’s Congresswoman Julie Johnson with some good news:

Federal judges have officially ruled to block Trump’s rigged maps. 

This is incredible news, John! Thanks to the tireless advocacy of grassroots supporters like you, Trump’s maps have been thrown out and exposed for what they are: racist, anti-democratic, and unconstitutional.

But our fight doesn’t end here. Republicans will fight this ruling, potentially appealing it all the way up to the Supreme Court, to aid in Trump’s dangerous consolidation of power. 

So as we gear up for the next stage in this battle, I need all hands on deck to help me defend my seat from Republicans’ anti-democratic attacks and continue fighting for voting rights in Texas and nationwide.

John, can I count on your support? If you’re able, please chip in to fund my re-election campaign and help flip the House blue in 2026 >>

I’m so grateful to have you on my team. Click here to take the next step →
