Statement from House Republican Leader J.T. Wilcox on Washington State Redistricting Commission’s work

“I want to personally thank Commissioner Paul Graves for his hard work, integrity, and professionalism throughout this entire process. When the House Republican Caucus chose Paul, we knew his skill set would be an asset to the Redistricting Commission. I know he is disappointed in what happened Monday night, including the lack of transparency, but this should not diminish his overall work and the efforts of our staff on the commission.

“While I do not like some aspects of the Legislative District and Congressional District maps released by the Redistricting Commission, I respect the fact these maps were put forward with unanimous support of the four commissioners. Speaker Jinkins said she hopes the Washington Supreme Court will consider these bipartisan maps. I believe the court should adopt these maps and respect the public input that went into developing them.”
