SALEM, Ore. – House Republican Leader Christine Drazan (R-Canby) released the
following statement in response to House Democrats’ creation of a new partisan
committee to force through a gerrymandered congressional map:
“The Speaker has created a new partisan committee to force through the Democrats’
illegal congressional redistricting map. She lied and broke her promise not just to us but
to Oregonians. She just sold the soul of our state for Democrats’ political gain. She’s
determined to gerrymander Oregon’s congressional maps. Republicans have been at the
table extending a hand so we can work together on fair maps. We wanted to be
responsive to public testimony. This map doesn’t do that.”
