So today I am going to issue a proclamation to convene a special session of the Florida Legislature to do redistricting of congressional map in the state of Florida. We are going to do it in the later part of April partially because there is a Supreme Court decision that is going to affect the validity of some of these districts nationwide, including some of the districts in the state of Florida. We also need to see our population has changed so much in the last four or five years. We need to get apportioned properly and people deserve equal representation. (15:33–15:47)
CLAIM
Asserts that the timing of the redistricting session is influenced by an upcoming Supreme Court decision affecting district validity.
