LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON TEXAS DEMOCRATS REFUSAL TO VOTE ON A GERRYMANDERED CONGRESSIONAL MAP

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Democrats in the Texas state legislature have righteously refused to vote on a gerrymandered congressional map that is designed to rig the midterm elections for House Republicans. The courage, conviction and character Texas Democrats are displaying is the embodiment of good trouble as we collectively push back against the extremism Donald Trump has unleashed on the American people. We have their backs.
