Senator César J. Blanco Speaks on House Bill 4, an unnecessary mid-decade redistributing plan

Published | Video Starts at 04:07

It reflects growth, not advantage. It reflects representation, not power. And that is why this map and this redistricting bill gives me such concern.

It risks turning a solemn duty into an instrument of political advantage. (04:07–04:18)
