The IBEW is calling on all Florida members to mobilize now to stop corrupt redistricting and reject gerrymandered maps. Demand fair maps that protect union voices and working families.

Governor DeSantis already forced a map redraw in 2022 that handed Republicans four new seats. Now, DeSantis and his allies want to redraw maps again, this time mid-decade without new census data. Their goal is to expand Florida’s 28 congressional seats while targeting Democratic strongholds in South Florida where the majority of union voters reside.

House Speaker Perez has created a special congressional redistricting committee that ignores Florida’s “Fair Districts” constitutional amendment that bans maps that favor one party. Their new redistricted maps could flip at least five Democratic-held districts in union-dense communities.

This isn’t about fair representation. This is part of a national GOP strategy. In states like Texas, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio, the GOP aims to flip enough U.S. House seats before the 2026 midterms to fast-track anti-worker, anti-union policies nationwide that they know are unpopular. That’s why they are trying to rig district maps.

Florida's mid-decade redistricting will impact union members by:

  • Erasing workers’ voices, especially in union-dense communities like Orlando, Tampa, and South Florida
  • Protecting anti-union politicians who attack collective bargaining, project labor agreements, union dues deductions, and prevailing wage laws
  • Opening the door for more anti-worker laws like the Big Ugly Bill  
  • Threatening union rights and jobs in Florida and nationwide  

📝 Union members must act now. Demand that your Florida state representative:

  • Reject anti-worker redistricting  
  • Put Floridians first, not the anti-union agenda of the Trump administration, DeSantis, and Perez
  • Protect union voices with fair maps that represent all working families
