Map Puts Voters First
ANNAPOLIS, MD - Today, the Maryland Republican Party (MDGOP) released a new good-government Congressional District map based on what is best for Maryland residents, not career politicians. MDGOP’s new map draws districts based on the 2010 census and the new lines respect municipal and county boundaries, therefore protecting communities of interests instead of furthering the interests of any political party. According to MDGOP Chairman Alex X. Mooney, the new map finally provides Maryland residents with the prospect of fair Congressional Districts.
“MDGOP’s new map provides Marylanders with districts that protect voters, not incumbent politicians. For ten years we have lived with some of the worst gerrymandered congressional districts in the country, purely because one political party chose to put their electoral interests over what’s best for Maryland voters. This cannot continue, and the Maryland GOP has taken the first step forward to show Maryland voters that fair congressional districts are possible.
“I am proud of our map and I look forward to sharing our map with the voters as the redistricting process moves forward. It is our hope that this map will launch a healthy debate throughout Maryland about what good representation looks like and how our elected officials can best serve the citizens of Maryland. We have put the voters first and that makes for good government.”
