We’re so excited to announce these leadership transitions! Our Executive Director, @johnbisognano, will be assuming the position of President, and our Director of Litigation & Policy, @marinakate31, will be assuming the position of Executive Director. ⬇️

The NDRC is heading into a new frontier with a successful redistricting cycle behind us—and a decade of redistricting work ahead of us. @EricHolder is continuing in his role as Chairman, and we’re redoubling our commitment to fight for #FairMaps.
Our team is beyond grateful to @kellycward who led this organization with passion for the last 6 years, and will be staying close as an NDRC Board Member. Please join us in congratulating our new leadership team!👏

🚨🚨🚨🚨The GOP-controlled Kansas Senate just voted to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a gerrymandered congressional map, going against the will of Kansans by making a backdoor deal that sacrifices the health of Kansas children.

More below 🧵and ➡️ bit.ly/3uBDDqK
Today, @kcstar's Ed Board reported that a KS Senate committee endorsed Sen. Mark Steffen’s plan expanding use of "unproven and potentially dangerous medicines for COVID-19, while loosening vaccine requirements for kids" in exchange for his veto override vote.
Without that vote, Senate Republicans would have failed, again, to override the gov.'s veto.

It is *appalling* that Kansas Republicans are so desperate for power that they would endanger children.

And when we say desperate, they've made clear their cheating so far isn't enough.

13 years ago today, our chairman, @EricHolder, was sworn in as the first Black Attorney General of the United States ⚖️🇺🇸

We’re pretty proud he’s our boss 😎#BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory
.@EricHolder is a born-and-bred New Yorker, husband, dad, basketball fan, internationally-recognized leader on legal issues, & staunch advocate for civil rights. He has served in government for 30+ years—having been appointed to positions by Presidents Obama, Clinton, and Reagan.
He served in the Obama Administration as the 82nd U.S. Attorney General. In his tenure, AG @EricHolder vigorously defended voting rights & led the Justice Department’s efforts to overturn politically-motivated voter ID laws that were designed to suppress minority and youth votes.

Competitive and fair elections are the bedrock of our democracy—they help ensure our electoral system isn't too extreme and polarized.

But Republicans in TX, OH, NC, and GA are passing new maps that eliminate competitive districts. Why does this matter? A thread🧵👇
Eliminating competition by gerrymandering safe seats allows extremists to avoid appealing to a broader electorate. On the flip side, extremists have a hard time winning elections when maps are fair & districts are competitive b/c they have to appeal to a more diverse electorate.
Most Americans want to see progress on healthcare, climate change, and ending gun violence. But none of that is possible if conservatives continue to engineer electoral wins by drawing safe districts and manipulating the maps.

🧵In the last few days, we've seen headlines like this:

1️⃣“Redistricting is Going Surprisingly Well for Democrats”
2️⃣“Democrats Are Doing Weirdly Well in Redistricting”
3️⃣“Surprisingly, there has been a redistricting turnaround”

This isn’t surprising—and it isn’t by accident.
Our team and so many others in this righteous fight for #FairMaps have been doing *really hard and grueling work* to ensure fair representation for every voter. Because we believe in democracy and that elections shouldn't be decided before a single ballot is even cast.
We’ve been sounding the alarm on 🚨GOP gerrymandering🚨, raising public awareness on how gerrymandering hurts our democracy, and educating people on the importance of the redistricting process and how they can get involved. We’ve also asked the courts to help end gerrymandering.
