Texas Democrats who fled the state as Republicans look to redraw the Lone Star State’s congressional lines pushed back on the GOP efforts during a press conference Tuesday morning.
The press conference, where the Democrats were joined by Democratic National Committee Chairman and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, comes on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act to fight against the attempted redistricting taking place during a Texas special session. The special session is also being used to address the fatal floods in the state last month.
“The state of Illinois is proud to stand side by side with these brave, Texas Democrat heroes in the battle to save our democracy,” Pritzker said at the press conference.
