In response to Governor JB Pritzker’s comments today regarding potential mid-decade redistricting of congressional maps to counteract Texas and other Republican states, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie released the following statement:
“It’s rich that the Governor now claims to support playing by the rules—after he enthusiastically signed into law the most gerrymandered maps in the nation. When it was convenient, he promised to reject partisan maps in favor of fair representation. Illinois Republicans remain committed to fairness and transparency.”
