Congressman Rodney Davis joined his Republican colleagues in the General Assembly on Monday in calling on Gov. J.B. Pritzker to support legislation to form an independent commission to redraw congressional and state legislative district maps.
“In the end, I think the public is demanding an open transparent process,” Davis, of Taylorville, said during a Statehouse news conference. “And many of our colleagues, including Gov. Pritzker, have said in their own words, that they would like an open and transparent process, one that’s going to stop politicians from picking their own voters.”
