"My opposition to mid-cycle gerrymandering is not in contrast to my conservative principles, my opposition is driven by them,"
"As long as I have breath, I will use my voice to resist a federal government that attempts to bully, direct, and control this state or any state. Giving the federal government more power is not conservative."
""vote no" and "Hoosiers fight fair.""
Indiana Senate voted 31-19 against a proposed mid-decade congressional redistricting pushed by President Trump, despite Republicans holding 40 of the chamber's 50 seats. The vote marks the first time members of Trump's own party voted down his redistricting campaign. Some Republican lawmakers opposed the plan on conservative grounds and resistance to federal overreach, while Indiana Democrats opposed it as a move that would dilute minority voting power. Protests outside the chamber included chants of "vote no" and "Hoosiers fight fair." Governor Mike Braun supported the redistricting push and both Braun and Trump threatened primary challenges.
