lashed out<\/a> against the plan to dismantle five Democratic-held U.S. House districts in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and South Texas, reshaping the state\u2019s political map to favor Republicans heading into the 2026 midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of the biggest casualties is Crockett\u2019s 30th Congressional District. Under the new boundaries, she would no longer reside within the district\u2019s lines \u2014 a major complication for any re-election bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI currently don\u2019t live in the [Congressional District] 30 that they created\u2026 that\u2019s not where I live now,\u201d Crockett said. \u201cThey are supposed to take that into consideration, and these are some of the things that the court will look at when they\u2019re trying to determine whether or not there were problems with creating the maps. It\u2019s really awful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crockett slammed the plan as a \u201chot mess\u201d and accusing Republicans of racial targeting, pointing out that several affected districts are held by black Democrats, including veteran Houston Rep. Al Green, famous for repeatedly and futilely attempting to impeach former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is so sad that these people have no integrity and could care less about doing what\u2019s right,\u201d Crockett claimed. \u201cThey want to exhaust us, and I want us to dig deep and show them even more energy than they could have ever imagined coming from us, us being we, the people. We are the state that actually brought the country Roe v. Wade; it is time for us to rise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On X, Crockett accused Republicans of trying to \u201ccheat\u201d to hold onto power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRepublicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air,\u201d she wrote. \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it\u2019s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes\u2026 If your big idea is \u2018cheat harder,\u2019 maybe it\u2019s time to rethink your politics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
