Rep. Brownlee Stands with Texas Lawmakers at Press Conference Against Rigged Congressional Maps

BOSTON - State Rep. Karen Brownlee (D-Symmes Twp) today stood in solidarity with Democratic members of the Texas State Senate and dozens of lawmakers from other states in Boston, MA denouncing the undemocratic attempt by Texas Republicans to unfairly redraw the state's congressional maps to favor Republicans candidates ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Rep. Brownlee is in Boston attending the annual National Conference of State Legislatures. 

“I am proud to stand up with lawmakers from around the country at the historic Massachusetts Statehouse in Boston, where our democracy began. Today, we are standing up for democracy and against the tyranny of the federal government because all people deserve districts that represent the will of the voters,” said Rep. Brownlee.

President Donald Trump demanded Texas redraw its congressional map in hopes of adding five more GOP seats in Texas in the midterm elections to increase Republicans’ chances of holding its slim majority in the U.S. House. Republicans currently hold 25 of Texas' 38 seats.
