NO MID-DECADE REDISTRICTING!

​

We, the Michiana Alliance for Democracy, stand in firm opposition to the Indiana legislature’s attempt to redraw congressional maps in a manner that disproportionately favors Republican interests. The special session called by Governor Mike Braun—under pressure from national party leaders—is a blatant effort to manipulate our democratic process for partisan gain.

Indiana’s current congressional delegation already reflects a significant imbalance: seven Republican seats to just two Democratic ones, despite the fact that fewer than 60% of Hoosiers voted Republican in the last presidential election. This proposed redistricting threatens to further erode fair representation, silencing the voices of countless Indiana voters who deserve equitable influence in Washington.

Mid-cycle redistricting, especially when driven by national political agendas, undermines the integrity of our electoral system. It circumvents the will of the people and weaponizes the legislative process to entrench power rather than serve constituents. We call on lawmakers—regardless of party affiliation—to reject this undemocratic maneuver and uphold the principles of transparency, fairness, and accountability.

We urge Hoosiers to speak out, contact their representatives, and demand a redistricting process that reflects the true diversity and values of our state. Democracy belongs to the people—not to political operatives in backroom deals.

Let this be a moment where Indiana chooses the path of integrity over expediency. We will not stand by while our democracy is carved up for partisan advantage.
