Maryland Gov. Wes Moore on Tuesday announced the creation of a commission to consider redrawing the state’s House map, the latest escalation in the nationwide fight over mid-decade redistricting.
“My commitment has been clear from day one — we will explore every avenue possible to make sure Maryland has fair and representative maps,” the Democratic governor said in a statement.
Democratic Sen. Angela Alsobrooks will chair the five-member Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission, which will “organize public hearings, solicit public feedback, and make recommendations” to Moore, according to the statement.
