Johnson to Hold Saturday Call With Indiana House GOP on Redistricting

The outreach marks a break from his earlier hands-off posture on state redistricting.

Overview

  • The conference call is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 29 at 1 p.m., according to Politico, which cited two people and an invitation it reviewed.
  • The timing precedes the Indiana House’s return on Monday, Dec. 1, with the state Senate set to meet the following week.
  • A Johnson spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, per the Politico report relayed by Election Law Blog.
  • Politico previously reported that Johnson called Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray last week after Bray said the Senate would not convene to advance new maps.
  • Indiana Republicans are considering changes to the 1st and 7th congressional districts that could produce two additional GOP seats, according to Politico’s reporting.
