Tell Governor Wolf We Need Representation and Racial Justice for PA Voters

Governor Wolf

Governor Tom Wolf needs to hear from PA Voters. Tell him that our state needs congressional maps that prioritize representation, fairness, and racial justice for all of PA’s voters.

We need your help to make sure Governor Wolf does the right thing for your vote and your neighbor’s vote.

We're asking Governor Wolf to make sure PA's new districts will make every vote count.

In 2011, Republicans in Harrisburg drew maps to advantage their Republican friends in Congress. The Republicans used a number of tricks to keep the state red, even though the majority of PA voters are Democrats. The maps divide up communities of color to dilute their vote, by either segregating people of color in just a few districts, or splitting communities up into unrecognizable pieces.

The PA Supreme Court gave state Republicans a chance to fix the maps, yet the problems still remain.

We want maps that are fair to all voters, that are transparently produced, and that maintain racial equity for communities of color across the state.
