ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore released the following statement after the Maryland House of Delegates overwhelmingly voted to pass new congressional maps:
“Tonight, the House took an important step to strengthen our democracy and ensure Maryland’s representation reflects the will of the people.
“We are living through an urgent moment. What we’re seeing unfold in Minneapolis is a reminder that when a federal administration pushes the bounds of its power, the country needs a real check—and Congress must be able to serve that role.
“At the same time, Republican leaders are already moving aggressively to further redraw maps ahead of 2026. And with the U.S. Supreme Court poised to issue rulings that could weaken key voting rights protections, we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.
“Now it’s time for the Maryland State Senate to do what Marylanders expect and democracy demands: take up this map, debate it, improve it if needed—and vote.”
