Hamilton ready to get back on track after rejection of gerrymandered congressional map

Today, Dec. 11, the Indiana State Senate voted down House Bill 1032, the gerrymandered congressional map. 

State Rep. Carey Hamilton (D-Indianapolis), House Minority Caucus Chair, released the following statement: 

“Four months have been spent with our attention on mid-decade redistricting instead of on what we were elected to do: serving our constituents. I celebrate this opportunity to get back on track and focus on the true needs of Hoosiers. Come January, I look forward to working on making healthcare, childcare, utilities, housing and groceries more affordable for working families. 

“Hoosiers from across the state and across the political spectrum showed up in a way I have never seen before. This outcome could not have happened without the thousands of people who got involved and stood up for fairness. I want to thank everyone who took part in this movement, from the protestors to those who emailed and called their legislators. Now, let’s get back to work.”
