Warner & Kaine Statement on Redistricting Effort in Virginia

WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) released the following statement regarding the General Assembly and Governor Abigail Spanberger's approval of a new Virginia congressional map that now heads to Virginians for a referendum vote:

"Donald Trump's decision to prioritize redrawing voting maps across the country instead of focusing on lowering costs for families has created extraordinary circumstances for states like Virginia. There is now a temporary proposal aimed at preserving a fair playing field and protecting Virginia voters. While some states are moving ahead through partisan deals behind closed doors, Virginia is following its constitutional process and allowing voters to render the final judgment. We strongly support this effort and Virginia's commitment to public transparency throughout the process."
