INDIANAPOLIS — Senate Democratic Leader Shelli Yoder (D-Bloomington) issued the following statement after the House passed House Bill (HB) 1032 on behalf of the Indiana Senate Democratic caucus:
“HB 1032 is not about representation. It is about silencing Hoosiers and diminishing representation. Instead of helping families with soaring utility bills, unaffordable housing, child care shortages, or rising health costs, House Republicans chose to rig maps so Washington insiders can decide what is best for Hoosiers.”
“This bill tears apart communities, strips voters of representation they voted for and hands control to national figures who are more interested in cementing absolute power rather than solving any problems. Hoosiers should pick their leaders. Politicians should not redraw the map to pick the voters. Hoosiers don’t cheat and this bill does.”
