PA could validate our founders & be a beacon of hope against petty despots of all kinds. 🗽
Or we can refuse reform, double down on the leader-driven stranglehold, & join other once great states racing toward the bottom. 🤔
The redistricting war is framed as a battle between parties. "But it's voters who will pay a cost . . . in the form of discarded votes, diminished voting power & a democratic process that is increasingly complicated to navigate."

#Gerrymandering is only gonna get worse by 2028.
"For Americans fed up with partisan redistricting, there’s bad news on the horizon: The gerrymandering war is just heating up."

A divided nation isn’t inevitable — Americans want to connect across differences. Research shows two‑thirds of us benefit from engaging with people unlike ourselves. We just need the opportunity.
That’s the focus of Kristen Scott Kennedy’s new column:

"Congressional #gerrymandering is a circular firing squad."
This is just one of the many great metaphors to describe the stupidity of gerrymandering.
The public is clearly sick of it. When will the politicians listen?

"…the big focus has got to be this whole issue of #gerrymandering and #redistricting.… [W]hen things are so partisan, so divided, you don't get things done. And the more we create these safe seats, the more people just pander to their base."

“This #gerrymandering arms race is poised to turn into a nuclear war."
We can keep PA safe from the war by passing House Bill 31 & Senate Bill 131 to establish an independent redistricting commission.

#ThursdayThoughts re partisan #gerrymandering:
According to @ivn : "It might be that the best protection against #gerrymandering sits not in the courtroom or in the halls of Congress, but with an electorate that isn’t beholden to the parties."

Do voters want leaders who redraw maps for partisan advantage?
Or do they want leaders who focus on issues & win on merits of their platform?
We'll continue to fight for an independent redistricting commission & watch for candidates who do the same.

We’ve had legislators who ignored us completely due to maps that divided us & destroyed accountability. Now we have maps that give us a choice & reward legislators who listen. Will we fight hard to keep that? You better believe it. #Gerrymandering is wrong-no matter who does it.

While redistricting battles continue, true patriots are speaking out against gerrymandered districts that steal representation from voters.
As former GOP SC Gov David Beasley explains, "a democracy only works when the people’s voice is protected."
