Austin American-Statesman (Op-Ed): Fair redistricting can help keep lawmakers accountable to the people
This is our year to flip the script and make sure we the people drive this process, not the politicians.
That’s why it’s critical that we the people have a say in how our maps are drawn. When the people are prioritized in our democracy, we will have certainty that maps are drawn to benefit us, not the politicians. State legislators must give us ample opportunity to review the maps, weigh in with our own thoughts, and voice our feedback. State legislators should outline an accessible process for multiple statewide public hearings for as many Texans as possible to be heard.
