DLCC Statement on Florida GOP’s Mid-Decade Redistricting Power Grab

The DLCC’s Target Map represents the best opportunities to create redistricting parity and build power ahead of 2030

WASHINGTON — Today, Florida Republicans will kick off their redistricting special session, taking their agenda to silence voters even further with a desperate plan to rig the maps to protect the GOP’s toxic U.S. House majority. Republicans are doing everything they can to avoid answering to voters who are rejecting their agenda that’s raising costs and gutting the economy.

As Republicans cheat to protect their slipping U.S. House majority, the DLCC is driving the national strategy to expand Democratic power in state legislatures. The DLCC’s ambitious 2026 Target Map represents the best path to put Democrats on offense around redistricting battles moving forward.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:

“From turning a blind eye to Florida’s insurance crisis to cutting Medicaid access for seniors, the GOP’s agenda is demolishing economic opportunity for Floridians. To avoid more embarrassing losses like Mar-a-Lago’s upset flip, Republicans’ answer is to draw maps that insulate them from ever facing accountability from voters. The DLCC stands with Florida state Democrats who are calling out this blatant power grab and standing up for their communities in the name of democracy. As we gear up for November, the DLCC has the strategy and target map to put Democrats on offense nationwide around redistricting.”

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) leads the national strategy to secure Democratic power in our state legislatures. We are the campaign arm for more than 3,000 state legislators and thousands of candidates across all 50 states who are advancing Democratic values and standing up to the dangerous MAGA agenda every single day. Over the last decade, our work has flipped 10 new chamber majorities. Those new majorities have ensured Democrats in state legislatures are positioned to protect our democracy and fundamental rights, while addressing the high cost of living and advancing opportunities. The DLCC’s national strategy and target map continue to pinpoint the most efficient paths to Democratic power across all 50 states.
