NOTE: The Office of the Governor shared the following press release:
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Governor Wes Moore released the following statement after the Maryland House of Delegates overwhelmingly voted to pass new congressional maps:
“Tonight, the House took an important step to strengthen our democracy and ensure Maryland’s representation reflects the will of the people.
“We are living through an urgent moment. What we’re seeing unfold in Minneapolis is a reminder that when a federal administration pushes the bounds of its power, the country needs a real check—and Congress must be able to serve that role.
“At the same time, Republican leaders are already moving aggressively to further redraw maps ahead of 2026. And with the U.S. Supreme Court poised to issue rulings that could weaken key voting rights protections, we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.
“Now it’s time for the Maryland State Senate to do what Marylanders expect and democracy demands: take up this map, debate it, improve it if needed—and vote
Democracy in MD? How do you call it Democracy when you essentially told almost a million Republican voters in MD that their votes have been nullified? Screw you and your “ Fight Trump” mentality. You’re the epitome of a sleazy “In it for me” politician.
well said. We’re screwed in Md.
Agree 💯
Clearly he doesn’t care about the will of the people as the majority in nearly every poll has said the redistricting isn’t need and is not representative of the population. But then one has to ask themself, he and the other politicians in Annapolis have ignored the will of the people for years, why would they listen now. This state administration, the House of Delegates, and the state Senate are jokes that only care about retaining power with no consideration for the populous.
