Politicians should not be allowed to achieve through the redistricting process what they can’t accomplish at the ballot box. To make Congress more representative, all districts in all states should follow balanced criteria and metrics instead of the corrupt system we have today.

WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), a senior member of the Budget and Ways and Means committees, released the following statement regarding H.R. 7, the “American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act”:
“As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, I am appalled at the fantasy finance scheme Republicans are proposing.
