Protect Indiana's Maps from Federal Political Pressure

When politicians face punishment for opposing outside pressure on redistricting, it's every Hoosier's voice that gets weakened — not just theirs.

The Letter

Subject Indiana's redistricting should be decided by Hoosiers, not Washington

I'm writing as one of your constituents who is watching what just happened in our state Senate with real concern. Six Indiana Republican senators lost their primaries this spring specifically because they pushed back on a redistricting plan shaped by federal political pressure rather than what's best for Indiana. Now Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray has announced he won't seek reelection as leader — and everyone in the Statehouse knows why. That's not how a healthy state legislature is supposed to work. When our elected officials are punished for exercising independent judgment on Indiana's own maps, the rest of us lose our voice too.

Fair district maps are the foundation of everything else we care about. If our legislature is drawing lines based on what pleases one person in Washington rather than what reflects our communities, then our votes matter less. Our accountability over you and every other representative matters less. I don't think that's what you ran for office to be part of. Redistricting decisions belong to Hoosiers — full stop.

I'm asking you to publicly commit to an independent redistricting process for Indiana, free from outside political coercion, and to stand alongside any colleague who faces retaliation for doing the same.

Please make sure Indiana's maps are drawn for Indiana's people, not as political favors to anyone outside this state.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [CITY]. I'm calling because I'm worried about what's happening to our state's independence when it comes to redistricting.
Six Indiana senators were pushed out of office this spring for standing up to outside pressure on our state's maps. Now our Senate leader is stepping down. That's a pattern, and it should concern everyone in that building.
I believe our district lines should reflect our communities here in Indiana — not be drawn as a favor to federal political figures. Our representatives should be able to vote their conscience on this without being punished.
I'd like to know where the representative stands on keeping Indiana's redistricting process free from outside political pressure — because this is the kind of issue that determines whether I vote for them next cycle. I vote.
