Democratic members of the Government Oversight Committee today reacted to public testimony on the House Republican congressional map proposal released Wednesday. The GOP proposal doubles down on historic Republican gerrymandering, favoring GOP candidates 13-2 across Ohio. 

“Ohioans and Democrats want a bipartisan, 10-year map. This isn’t that map, and Ohioans know it. That’s why we are fighting today against this proposal that splits apart our communities for no reason other than to unduly favor Republican candidates. With the help of citizens, we will continue to fight for a map that is compact, keeps our largest counties whole, and reflects the preferences of Ohio voters,” said Minority Whip Rep. Paula Hicks-Hudson (D-Toledo).
