Washington, D.C. — Today, John Bisognano, President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), issued the following statement in response to Virginia’s proposed congressional map:

“The mid-decade gerrymandering crisis, which Donald Trump and Republicans launched in Texas and continued in North Carolina and Missouri, is now being proposed in Florida—and Virginia is standing up for the American people and responding decisively against this attempt to rig the 2026 midterms. The proposed Virginia map increases the number of competitive districts from the current map, and Virginia voters will have a say at the ballot box on the new map—a stark contrast to brazen mid-decade gerrymanders in Republican states.”
