Overview

• Former governor Jeff Colyer called for an immediate special session to redraw Kansas' congressional lines, aligning his push with President Trump.
• Secretary of State Scott Schwab signaled support for revisiting maps, while candidate Doug Billings advocated packing liberal voters to flip the Kansas City–area 3rd District.
• Kansas Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Dinah Sykes and House Minority Leader Brandon Woodard, say the effort targets the state's lone Democratic U.S. House seat held by Rep. Sharice Davids.
• Texas Republicans, after Trump's request, enacted a mid‑cycle map designed to add up to five GOP‑leaning seats, and California's governor has proposed a November referendum to add five Democratic seats by revising the state's map.
• News analyses estimate Republicans could net roughly five to eight U.S. House seats if these remaps proceed, with additional uncertainty from the Supreme Court's holdover case, Louisiana v. Callais, on majority‑minority districts.
