Skoufis Comments on New Congressional Maps

“After almost two years of hand-wringing and legal battling for a fair congressional map, the onlything “bipartisan” about the Independent Redistricting Commission’s proposal is that both parties are seeking to protect their incumbents. In fact, the most meaningful edit to the map sacrifices Orange County at the altar of partisanship, splitting the currently-unified county into two congressional districts in an attempt to protect one incumbent from each party.“These maps are a disgrace and ought to be rejected by the Legislature.”
