Posts - Bill - HR 5426 John Tanner and Jim Cooper Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act

house 09/17/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to ensure that congressional district maps are drawn fairly and transparently by requiring states to use independent commissions for redistricting and limiting states to one congressional redistricting per census cycle, helping to reduce partisan gerrymandering and promote equal representation.

Views

An equal footing for all states sounds like a map that actually makes sense.

Another layer of bureaucracy to babysit states—because Washington always knows best, right?

left-leaning 09/17/2025

Finally, a bill that says ‘no’ to rigged maps and ‘yes’ to real democracy.

Independent commissions: because Democrats or Republicans shouldn’t get to play cartographers.

One redraw, no funny business—simple, clean, and hopefully effective.

Limits on redistricting? What’s next, Congress telling states how to mow their lawns?

left-leaning 09/17/2025

Stopping gerrymandering one redraw at a time—hope the voters actually get to pick their reps!

Who knew fairness could come from a commission, not a backroom deal?

right-leaning 09/17/2025

Independent commissions means less accountability and more unelected map makers.
