New Jersey Governor Weighs Redistricting Response to GOP Moves | JQJO

Amidst Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy stated there are currently no plans to redraw the state's congressional map, though he didn't rule out the possibility. National Democrats are reportedly considering countermeasures in several states, including New Jersey, to offset potential GOP gains. Murphy noted limited options for Democrats in New Jersey due to their current 9 out of 12 congressional district control and legal constraints requiring a law change to redraw the map. He declared New Jersey's response will be robust if Republicans proceed with aggressive redistricting.
