Indiana Gov. Mike Braun releases the following statement:
“I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences. I will be working with the President to challenge these people who do not represent the best interests of Hoosiers.”
State Sen. Linda Rogers (R-Granger) made the following statement:
"Today, I joined the majority of my colleagues in voting against redistricting. Over the last few months, I have heard from thousands of constituents who were overwhelmingly opposed. When I chose to run for Senate District 11, I promised to serve and advocate for those in our local community, and I believe I upheld that promise today. I will continue to work on issues affecting all Hoosiers, including education reform and reducing taxes."
