We could have done that in House. A fair map for nothing with the people we have. So I introduced, I shouldn't say introduced. I co-sponsored a bill with someone in the House that would have the same system as Iowa. Iowa has an independent third party that sets up the redistricting map. We could have saved millions of dollars and we could have been fair. But the majority party chose to go in another direction. I think one of the biggest misconceptions people have is the party affiliations. (25:28–25:40)

CLAIM

Asserts co-sponsorship of a bill for independent third-party redistricting similar to Iowa's system.
