This is why we need Dem AGs in office protecting your right to vote.
Friend,
The latest congressional and legislative maps for the state of Texas have been redrawn, and to no one's surprise: Republican officials, led by indicted Texas GOP AG Ken Paxton, are undercutting our democracy again.
These maps are so egregious that President Biden’s Department of Justice is suing to have them redrawn, because they violate the Voting Rights Act. Texas’ new maps ignore the fact that the state’s population growth over the past decade has been driven almost entirely by Black and Hispanic residents, and add two new congressional districts that contain a majority of white voters.
Friend, Republican AGs have repeatedly shown us that they’ll throw their full weight behind undemocratic causes, and indicted GOP AG Paxton is eager to put himself at the front of their movement.
While Republican AGs like Ken Paxton are busy trying to exploit our democratic system through voter suppression laws and partisan redistricting, Dem AGs like North Carolina AG Josh Stein are trying to fortify free and fair elections.
AG Stein recently filed an amicus brief in the North Carolina Supreme Court, asking the court to strike down unconstitutional congressional and state legislative districts that have been proposed in North Carolina. We need fewer people like AG Paxton in office, and more champions of democracy like AG Stein.
Democratic AGs truly are “The People’s Lawyers” and DAGA is the only party committee devoted to electing more of them. Since 2016, we’ve won two-thirds of our targeted races, and with more than 30 AG seats up for grabs in 2022, we need your support – will you chip in today?
