Hi, my name is [Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City or Zip Code].

I’m calling because I’m really concerned about the Texas GOP’s alarming plan, led by Trump, to redraw their congressional maps mid-decade to rig future elections. I believe our state legislature needs to be ready to respond.

I’m asking [Senator/Representative Last Name] to take three steps:

1. Review our state’s redistricting laws and what it would take to allow responsive map changes;

2. Coordinate with the governor and other legislative leaders;

3. Make a public commitment that we won’t stand by if Republicans undermine democracy.

If they rig their maps, we can’t afford for you to do nothing. 

Subject: Prepare to Fight Back Against GOP Gerrymandering

Dear [Representative/Senator Name],

I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to take urgent steps in response to the Texas GOP’s alarming plan, led by Trump, to rig their congressional maps with mid-decade redistricting. As you know, if Texas redraws its maps with no consequences, it could lead to a nationwide wave of extreme, partisan gerrymandering and block Democrats from winning the House, no matter how people vote.

I’m asking you to:

• Review our state’s redistricting laws and assess what it would take to allow map changes if Republicans escalate further;

• Make a public commitment that we won’t stand by if Republicans undermine democracy;

• Coordinate with the Governor and other legislative leaders to publicly signal that our state won’t sit back if the GOP rigs the game.

We didn’t ask for this fight, but we can’t afford to lose it by staying silent. I urge you to lead boldly, and I’ll be watching closely.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
