NDRC Statement on Florida Legislature Passing DeSantis’s Mid-Decade Gerrymander

Washington, D.C. — Today, John Bisognano, President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), issued the following statement in response to the Florida Legislature passing Governor DeSantis’s extreme mid-decade congressional gerrymander:

“DeSantis’s extreme new gerrymander was drawn behind closed doors because he knows the voters overwhelmingly oppose this partisan power grab. Instead of standing up for their constituents, Florida Republicans have just voted to silence millions of Floridians in service of Donald Trump’s plot to steal the 2026 midterm elections. If they think they can get away with trampling over the will of the voters and ignoring the state constitution’s ban on partisan gerrymandering, they are sorely mistaken. This fight is not over, and Florida Republicans can expect fierce legal challenges against this new gerrymander.”
