- π£οΈ Congressman Greg Casar, alongside other Texas Democrats, is fighting against a "horrific plan" to redistrict Texas's congressional maps, calling it a "ridiculous and illegal gerrymandering plan."
- π― The scheme is described as a collaboration between Donald Trump and Ken Paxton to "rig the rules of our elections" and suppress voters' voices.
Allegations of Corruption and Accountability
- π° Casar asserts that Donald Trump is the "most corrupt president in American history" and Ken Paxton the "most corrupt politician in Texas history."
- βοΈ He argues that this redistricting effort is designed to prevent Trump from being held accountable for his alleged "crimes, corruption, and lies."
Impact on Voters and Districts
- π³οΈ The plan aims to "silence the voices of voters in Central Texas" by merging districts like the 35th and 37th, disproportionately affecting voters of color.
- π Casar warns that if Trump is allowed to suppress votes in Central Texas, he intends to replicate this tactic nationwide.
Texas Democrats' Stance

- β They are committed to using "every tool available" to push back against the alleged illegal and corrupt scheme.
Vision for Texas Leaders
- π Texans deserve leaders who will "look out for them in disasters," expand healthcare, and not steal taxpayer money or hand it to friends.
