Statement from Speaker Don Scott Urging Virginians to Vote YES on Redistricting Amendment
RICHMOND, VA — Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates Don Scott issued the following statement urging voters to vote YES in the April 21 redistricting referendum:
“As early voting begins today on the redistricting referendum, I encourage Virginians to make their voices heard and vote YES.
“We did not start this fight — Donald Trump did when he called on Texas Republicans to rig congressional maps before voters could hold them accountable. Now Virginia — and Virginia voters — have the chance to end it.
“This amendment is a temporary step to level the playing field and protect fair representation at a moment when it is under direct threat. It ensures that the people of Virginia — not politicians in Washington — decide our future.
“Now the decision rests with the people of Virginia.”
