Maps should be drawn to ensure the people win, not politicians.

Earlier this month, Leader Isaacsohn called Ohio’s 11–4 map “a gerrymander.” ‼️Now he’s cutting a deal with Republicans for a 12–3 map, even more rigged. You can’t call it unfair one week and sign off the next. Ohioans deserve #fairmaps, not sellouts. #ohio
