Issue Position: End Partisan Gerry Mandering

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019
Issues: Elections

Partisan gerrymandering has been an issue for our democracy for generations. Both parties have been guilty of drawing maps to benefit their members, lock in majorities, and protect incumbents. This practice undercuts the basis of our representative democracy.

We need to get control of our democracy back in the hands of the people, and we need our politicians to reflect the will of the constituencies they represent. If we don't remove the politics from the drawing of district maps for voting purposes, we'll continue to have representative bodies that don't reflect the populations they're representing, and promoting an agenda that is reflective of a smaller and smaller proportion of the population.
