Governor Mike Braun released the following statement on Tuesday, Nov. 18 regarding ongoing redistricting efforts in the legislature.
I am glad to see Speaker Huston and House Republicans publicly endorse the need for fair maps. We look forward to them returning in December to vote to advance them. Momentum is building and it’s time now for our state senators to commit to showing up for work.
Unfortunately, Sen. Rod Bray was forced to partner with DEMOCRATS to block an effort by the growing number of America First Senators who wanted to have a vote on passing fair maps. Now I am left with no choice other than to explore all options at my disposal to compel the State Senate to show up and vote.
I will support President Trump’s efforts to recruit, endorse, and finance primary challengers for Indiana’s senators who refuse to support fair maps.
Your blind obedience to the Trump dogma is sickening. You were elected to represent the interests of all the residents of Indiana, not partisan interests originating from Washington DC.
It’s too bad that you value Trump’s agenda rather than the issues and challenges that face your state’s residents daily.
