redistricting

Jeffries met with Senate President Bill Ferguson to try and sway Ferguson to pursue a Democratic-leaning Congressional map.

Wes Moore led his fourth annual address with a plea for the Senate to vote on a new Congressional map for Maryland, receiving mixed reaction from lawmakers.

Gov. Wes Moore, the Maryland speaker of the House and national Democratic leaders are all calling on the state Senate to vote on a new Congressional map, but the caucus remains — mostly — united.

Sen. Arthur Ellis says he will not be voting in the Senate until the chamber takes up a new Congressional map, but his protest did not sway the Senate President.

The House of Delegates gave the new Congressional map its final vote of approval, but the Senate president remains steadfast in rejecting early redistricting.

While the map is on track to clear its third and final vote in the House of Delegates, it is likely to stall in the Senate.

A full-chamber vote that could make Maryland’s Congressional delegation 8-0 Democratic is now imminent, but an uphill battle for supporters of early redistricting remains.

Gov. Wes Moore’s redistricting commission is proposing altering Republican Andy Harris’s district to make it more competitive.
