INDIANAPOLIS –Indiana Senate Minority Leader Shelli Yoder (D-Bloomington) issued the following statement after Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced there are not enough votes to move forward with mid-cycle redistricting:
“Hoosiers stopped this. Not Donald Trump. Not Governor Braun. Hoosiers.
Let’s be very clear about why we were even here. Washington insiders pressured the Governor to rig Indiana’s congressional maps in the middle of a decade for one reason. They were afraid of voters.
They were afraid of losing power the honest way.
This should have never been considered. Not for one day. Not for one dollar. Not while families across our state are struggling to afford groceries, child care, health care and energy bills.
Now that this reckless idea has collapsed, our focus can return to where it should have been all along. Hoosiers. Their budgets. Their safety. Their health. Their future.
Our caucus is ready to get back to work on real solutions that lower costs, strengthen communities and make life better for every family in Indiana. That is the work voters sent us here to do and with Session 2026 around the corner, we won’t stop.”
