A Republican tells Republicans they oughta get on board with #redistricting reform in PA: broadandliberty.com/2026/02/17/pat… It's critical to think a couple of years ahead! @PAHouseGOP @PASenateGOP @Cris49048966 @SenatorKimWard @SenatorPittman #EndGerrymandering

Some members of PA GOP think we're biased toward Democrats. But we've warned about a potential Dem #gerrymander in 2031. Here's a possible House map that increases Dem control and pits incumbent Republicans against each other. Fantasy? Nope. It can really happen. @PAHouseGOP

Check the large pink district in north central: SD 21. Looks like 3 PA senators would land in 1 district. 2 of them could move reform quickly: @SenatorPittman & @SenatorDush. Strange how some PA legislators are sure the current system works fine for them. Until it doesn't.

#MondayMotivation 2/2 #TakeAction When politicians choose their voters, we ALL lose representation. Have your own legislators cosponsored House Bill 31 or Senate Bill 131? If not, why not? Ask them. fairdistrictspa.com/take-action/co…

#MondayMotivation 1/2: Some legislators who once supported PA redistricting reform now say "We have to fight fire with fire." For most Americans, that sounds like democracy burning. The real losers in the redistricting war? Voters. governing.com/politics/the-r…

We can advocate best when we understand how things work. FDPA volunteer Jodi Reese has spent years digging into details on PA legislative process. She'll share some of what she's learned with @RedWineBlueUSA PA Civics in the Commonwealth series-Monday 3/23 secure.ngpvan.com/5ys3U_T7gk6r4Z…

That's a very mild example of what could happen if Democrats control the next #redistricting & decide to #gerrymander their opponents. Yet there are only 2 R cosponsors for HB 31 & 2 for SB 131. We still can't understand why. Time is short to put protections in place before 2031.

FDPA has thousands of volunteers, tens of thousands of supporters, all with our own stories about why we care about democracy, why we support redistricting reform, why we want to see PA thrive. What's your story? Take a short video & share it w communications@fairdistrictspa.com

#gerrymandering is an attempt to control election outcomes. Most voters object strongly. With increasingly fluid voter behavior the tactic aims at a moving target. Best move in the mid-decade redistricting war? Listen to voters. Don't treat us as pawns. multistate.us/insider/2026/3…

Latest cosponsor of HB 31 to end #gerrymandering in PA: Rep. Bob Merski of Erie Co. Bravo for Rep. Merski! @RepMerski #NotRedNotBlueJustFair

It's a critical juncture: The bills to prevent #gerrymandering in PA need to start moving NOW. We've got to end the short-sighted indifference of party leaders. Join us for a Lobby Day in Harrisburg! fairdistrictspa.com/events/2026/03… @PaHouseDems @PAHouseGOP @PaSenateDems @PASenateGOP

“The rules should not be rewritten in the middle of the game." Farmville Mayor Brian Vincent is right: Virginians already demanded a fairer, bipartisan redistricting process—and they got it. Reopening maps mid-decade just because ‘the political math has shifted’ erodes trust and tells voters strategy outranks stability. Read his full argument in RealClearPolitics: “Stable Rules and Standards Build Trust” by Brian Vincent. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2026/…

If you support gerrymandering by EITHER party, then you need to be prepared to answer one question first: Why isn’t the power of my solutions enough to convince voters to vote for me? Why do I need to pick my own voters instead?

Right now PA's divided government protects us from the unfolding mid-decade redistricting nightmare. Safeguards in HB 31 & SB 131 could protect us in the future. Ask House leader @RepBradford for a vote on HB 31: mbradford@pahouse.net (717) 772-2572 pennlive.com/opinion/2026/0…

🇺🇸3/3 Do your own legislators support an independent redistricting commission, or bow to party leader control rather than protect their constituents' rights? Check fairdistrictspa.com/take-action/co… PA voters want fair districts, not maps that let politicians choose their voter.

🇺🇸2/3 PA is an extreme outlier in giving control of PA #redistricting of state house & senate to just 5 people. 4 are caucus leaders (majority & minority leaders in houe & senate). That's not representation. It's the frightful despotism George Washington warned against.

🇺🇸1/3 Over the past 35 years, coincident with rising partisanship, the voting public has been leaving the 2 major parties in the millions. PA's closed primaries hide that fact-but talk to voters. They agree PA needs structures that resist partisan control. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

"The percentage of the electorate that identifies with neither of the two major parties has grown from just over 30 percent in 1990 to 45 percent as of January 2026…" When will party leaders realize people are sick of partisanship? yahoo.com/news/articles/… #NotRedNotBlueJustFair
