entirely to Republican redistricting efforts, ?ghting for fair district lines to ensure conservative
voices are well represented. And like we did before, we will again be working fulltime to ensure
we are strongly represented nationwide in 2020 for the next round of redistricting.

 

What happens in politics at the state level has the greatest impact on people?s lives. Republicans
have long understood that government closest to the people makes the most important decisions
about how best to educate our children, control business and property taxes, provide affordable
energy, and ensure ef?cient, safe roads and bridges. Democrats? newfound interest in state-level
politics seems to have nothing to do with helping families and everything to do with their old
desires to use the federal government in Washington to direct and constrain people's lives. In the
end, it's simply about having a clear vision for a new, open ?iture and an effective strategy to
share that vision with voters. The Democrats' slick DC plan to rig the game won't work. People
deserve more, and the Democrats should know better.

Congressional Redistricting:
Drawing Maps for the Next Five Elections

 

Following the 2011 census, each state will redraw its state legislative
and congressional lines according to respective state law.

Whoever controls that process controls the drawing of the maps -
shaping the political landscape for the next 10 years. Governors and
state legislators play a role in that process in 38 states.

To control the process, or at least have a seat at the table, winning and
defending state legislative majorities must be a priority.

The RSLC is Mission-Focused

 

?To maximize their chances, each party has a related organization 
the Republican State Leadership Committee and the Democratic
Legislative Campaign Committee to provide advice and money to
state legislative candidates. The Democratic group plans to spend $20
million or more, and the GOP group plans on spending as much as
$22 million on such 2010 races. ?If we don?t win these state
elections and have majorities, then the whole rest of this is
irrelevant,? Carrie Cantrell, a spokeswoman for the Republican
State Leadership group, said of redistricting.?

- Congressional Quarterly, December 1, 2009

 

 

 

Maps Matter:
The First Tool in Winning Elections

 

Indiana Example: Democrats controlled the mapmaking in Indiana in the
last redistricting cycle.

In 2002, Republican candidates for the Indiana State House received 56% of
the vote across the state. Despite the ovenlvhelming vote for Republicans,
they remained in the minority in the chamber 49-51.

Since the last redistricting, Republican candidates in the last four elections
for the Indiana State House have received an average of almost 53% of the
vote across the state but are in the minority today 48-52.

The legislative map made the difference.
