INDIANAPOLIS—State Senator Niezgodski (D-South Bend) responds to the recent announcement that the Indiana House of Representatives will convene on Dec. 1 and the Senate will convene on Dec. 8 to redraw Congressional maps.
“Another day unfolds in the day-by-day saga of what it means to be a Hoosier right now, and we are living through a moment unlike anything we have ever seen.
“With Washington still seeking to be in the position of command on whether or not redistricting will take place in our state, our Statehouse schedules appear to be akin to a Shakespearean plot. Hoosiers deserve far better than this constant jostling, cliffhangers and last-minute plot twists.
“When December comes, I will be ready to work. I will stay focused on the real priorities of the Hoosier people, especially our affordability crisis, no matter what political distractions get thrown into the script. At the end of the day, Hoosiers should come first, and that is exactly where my attention will remain. Stay tuned as the curtain is scheduled to rise on Act 2.”
