Democratic Gov. Wes Moore announced a commission on the subject on Tuesday.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) announced the creation of a redistricting commission on Tuesday, a move that could bring the state one step closer to redrawing its maps and joining a nationwide battle over House control.
“We will explore every avenue possible to make sure Maryland has fair and representative maps,” Moore said in a press release, which noted that the commission would hold public hearings, get feedback and make recommendations about how the state’s maps could be improved.
Moore’s move comes as Republicans have mounted an aggressive redistricting push in multiple states including Texas, Missouri and North Carolina, with the goal of increasing the number of GOP seats in the House.
As part of these efforts, which have been a priority for President Donald Trump, Republican-led legislatures are drawing new maps for different House districts so that they favor GOP candidates and make it harder for Democrats to get elected.
