Victory for Democracy: Indiana Senate Rejects Gerrymandered Map

Today, Indiana Senate Republicans voted against a mid-decade gerrymandering scheme that would dilute the power of voters and carve out two new Republican congressional districts. President Donald Trump has been relentless in his efforts to pressure Indiana lawmakers to redistrict, resulting in threats to elected leaders who oppose partisan gerrymandering. Stand Up America members in Indiana have driven nearly over 16,000 calls, emails, and letters urging their legislators to oppose mid-decade redistricting.

Stand Up America Executive Director, Christina Harvey issued the following statement on the victory:

“This is an important victory for democracy. The House-passed map was nothing more than a partisan scheme to rig the 2026 election. For weeks, Indiana residents have been pleading with their state leaders to stop mid-decade redistricting and the Senate listened.

“Despite threats to themselves and their families, a majority of Indiana senators were steadfast in rejecting this gerrymandered map. Republican lawmakers across the country should follow their example. We are grateful to these lawmakers who put the needs of their constituents above party politics."
