Congressional Candidate Daniel Biss (IL-09) Urges State Lawmakers to Redistrict Illinois Congressional Map
EVANSTON, IL – Congressional Candidate Daniel Biss (IL-09) released the following statement regarding the ongoing effort to redistrict Illinois’ congressional map:
“We are in a moment of true emergency, and the Democratic Party must use every tool at its disposal to fight back. Republican legislatures across the country are redrawing maps to lock in minority rule, and Illinois cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.
“While I continue to support national reforms to end gerrymandering, we cannot unilaterally disarm while the other side rigs the game. I urge the Illinois General Assembly to pass an updated Congressional map, one that allows Democrats to compete in an additional district while protecting the Voting Rights Act and vital Black and Hispanic representation. The stakes are nothing less than control of Congress and the future of democracy itself.”
