Governor Spanberger Releases Statement on Redistricting Referendum Outcome
RICHMOND, VA - Governor Abigail Spanberger today released the following statement on the outcome of Virginia's redistricting referendum.
"Virginia voters have spoken, and tonight they approved a temporary measure to push back against a President who claims he is 'entitled' to more Republican seats in Congress. Virginians watched other states go along with those demands without voter input - and we refused to let that stand. We responded the right way: at the ballot box.
"I understand the urgency of winning congressional seats as a check on this President, and I look forward to campaigning with candidates across the Commonwealth working to earn Virginians' trust - and their votes. Looking forward, I remain committed to ensuring Virginia's bipartisan redistricting commission gets back to work after the 2030 census, and to protecting the process Virginians voted to create."
