WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03) issued the following statement following the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision:

“Today, the Supreme Court's Republican majority finished what they started – gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and making it easier to silence Black voters and communities of color ahead of a pivotal midterm election.”

“For the past year, Republicans in Congress and in state legislatures across the country have raced to rig their maps and hold onto power – power they have surrendered to Donald Trump, who has raised prices on American families, ripped health care away from people who need it, and sent U.S. servicemembers to fight in a new forever war in the Middle East. Today's decision is the culmination of the GOP's effort to ensure that the same families being screwed over by this administration and their Republican enablers in Congress have even less power to hold them accountable at the ballot box.”

“This is a power grab, plain and simple. And just as we did when Republicans kicked off their mid-decade redistricting scam, Democrats will respond in kind. We didn’t start this fight, but it’s on us to finish it.”
