I testified against gerrymandering for the State Senate today.
It's up on the Living Blue Facebook page.

1. I am in SD10 and what was done to us was so bad
that our incumbent State Senator Beverly Powell opted to drop out of the race because so much of her support was drawn into another district.
The map essentially leaves Fort Worth without a senator of its own. Instead the city is parceled out into several different districts. |

2. Oh, I know. It was a travesty.
I mentioned SD10, too. Most of DFW essentially has no representation in the state senate or congress.

4. That's awesome!
It's ridiculous how much we have to do this every few years.
