Statement on The Texas Supreme Court Decision

“Today’s decision is a reminder that Greg Abbott’s attempt to punish Democrats for standing up against a rigged redistricting scheme was always more about political intimidation than the rule of law. Texas Democrats broke quorum to defend fair representation and stop a blatant power grab designed to protect Republican control ordered from The White House, not to serve Texans.

The Texas Supreme Court obviously agreed with Texans who are tired of leaders focused on retaliation and political games while families struggle with rising costs, overcrowded schools, and failing infrastructure. We will continue organizing, fighting for fair maps, and making sure voters, not politicians, decide the future of Texas families.”
