Rep. Anna Eskamani Sounds Alarm on Florida’s Potential Mid‑Decade Redistricting and Affirms Solidarity with Texas Democrats
Orlando, FL: As President Donald Trump pushes to get more Republicans in Congress, the Florida House of Representatives is putting together a mid-decade redistricting committee. House Speaker Daniel Perez sent out a memo to lawmakers Thursday afternoon announcing his creation of the Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting.
Here is Representative Dr. Eskamani’s Statement in Response:
“Today’s news that the Florida Legislature is beginning to explore a redistricting process similar to Texas’s blatant mid‑decade effort is deeply troubling. Redrawing Congressional maps outside of the standard post‑census cycle threatens fair representation, undermines the intent of our democratic system, and risks silencing our diverse communities. We will do everything in our power to fight back on these efforts, reject partisan gerrymandering, and uphold the principles of transparency and equal justice for Florida voters.”
