US EditionSeven Texas House Democrats Travel to Meet with New Mexico's Governor
TEXAS, JUL 29 – Texas House Democrats are raising funds to support a quorum break that could delay redistricting, relying on donors to cover potential fines and legal challenges, with $20 million pledged by a super PAC.
- Republicans in Texas began a special session on July 21, 2025, to pursue a mid-decade redistricting of congressional districts.
- The effort was prompted by a Justice Department letter that labeled four districts with predominantly Black and Hispanic populations as illegally drawn based on race.
- In response, Democrats are considering a quorum break by fleeing the state to disrupt proceedings despite facing $500 daily fines and arrest threats.
- A $20 million pool of resources organized by the largest super PAC supporting House Democrats aims to challenge Texas Republican seats, while the DNC activates 30,000 volunteers and digital efforts focus on GOP-held districts.
- This resistance intends to delay redistricting, support court challenges, and educate voters, potentially triggering a public messaging battle ahead.
