Castro Statement on Texas House Approving Illegal Congressional Maps

Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) released the following statement:

“At Trump’s direction, the Texas House has now passed racist and illegal congressional maps that rob all Texans of their voice. While I am deeply disappointed in this outcome, I am proud of Texas House Democrats for standing up for our state. They have opened the country’s eyes to Trump’s attack on our voting rights and galvanized people across the country to speak out. Make no mistake, this fight is not over. We will keep giving everything we’ve got to protect our democracy.”
