John,
In 2020, 65% of Virginians spoke clearly: take redistricting power away from politicians and place it in the hands of an independent commission.
It was decisive.
It was bipartisan.
And it was meant to stop exactly what’s happening right now.
This week in Richmond, Democratic leaders advanced a constitutional amendment that would allow politicians to redraw Virginia’s congressional maps mid-decade, in time for the 2026 elections.
Not after the census.
Not because of population shifts.
But because they don’t like the current political balance.
Let’s call this what it is: a mid-game power grab.
Voters were promised fair maps drawn through an independent process. Now, the very politicians voters restrained want to take that power back — just long enough to benefit themselves.
If politicians can rewrite constitutional rules whenever the scoreboard isn’t going their way, then those rules aren’t protections. They’re suggestions.
We don’t change the Constitution because one party is unhappy with the outcome.
And we don’t undermine voter-approved reforms to tilt the playing field.
This fight is about more than district lines.
It’s about trust.
It’s about stability.
It’s about whether the will of Virginia voters still matters once Election Day is over.
And here’s the reality: the other side is already mobilized, organized, and well-funded to push this through.
If we’re going to stop it, we have to act now.
Chip in $25, $50, or whatever you can today to help us fight this referendum and defend fair representation in Virginia.
