As the midterm elections approach, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has announced the revival of a redistricting advisory commission to recommend new congressional maps.
The Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission, which meets every decade to redraw legislative and congressional maps based on Census results, will be revamped mid-cycle, a step also taken by many other states.
My commitment has been clear from day one — we will explore every avenue possible to make sure Maryland has fair and representative maps.
Angela Alsobrooks, the former Prince George’s County executive, will chair the commission, according to a news release by Gov. Moore.
