Florida Democratic Party Reacts on Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting 

The Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried released the following statement after House Speaker Daniel Perez announced members of a Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting:

“The decision to launch a mid-decade drawing of congressional maps is unnecessary and expensive. This is a backroom power grab from Republican politicians.

Voters didn’t ask for this. Instead of tackling the affordability crisis Floridians are facing every day, Republican leadership is trying to protect their congressional Republicans from the fall out of the Big Ugly Bill. Florida Democrats will continue to fight for fair representation and ensure Floridians’ voices are not silenced at the ballot box.”
