Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City or Zip Code]. I’m calling because I’m deeply concerned about Texas’s plan to redraw its congressional maps mid-decade, and I believe our state must be prepared to respond.

I urge Governor [Name] to make a clear, public commitment that if Republicans go forward with this plan, our state will explore its own redistricting options to defend democracy.

We can’t allow one-sided gerrymandering to lock in minority rule. Please let the Governor know that I, along with many others, am watching, and we expect leadership.

Subject: Our State Must Be Ready to Respond to GOP Map Rigging

Dear Governor [Last Name],

I’m writing as a constituent to urge you to speak out and act in response to the Texas GOP’s alarming plan, led by Trump, to redraw their congressional maps mid-decade.

If Governor Abbott and Republican leaders succeed in gerrymandering Texas, or any other red state, to cement permanent GOP control, the consequences will ripple far beyond state lines. This is not just about Texas, it’s about the future of our democracy nationwide.

We’ve already seen leaders like Governor Gavin Newsom acknowledge the threat and the need to be prepared. We need all blue states to do the same.

I respectfully urge you to:

• Make a public commitment that our state will not stand by if Republicans rig their maps,

• Direct your admin to assess what legal or legislative steps are necessary to allow responsive redistricting if needed,

• Coordinate with legislative leaders to ensure we are prepared to act swiftly and in tandem with other Democratic-led states.

This is about ensuring our democracy is not held hostage by one-sided power grabs.

Thank you for your leadership.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
