**Maryland Governor Wes Moore Launches Redistricting Commission Ahead of 2026 Midterms**
*By Misty Severi | November 4, 2025 | Just the News*
Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore announced on Tuesday the launch of a redistricting commission tasked with evaluating whether to redraw the state’s congressional districts ahead of next year’s midterm elections. This move comes as several other states are undertaking similar efforts to reconsider their district boundaries.
The announcement coincides with California voters casting ballots on whether the Golden State should join the redistricting movement. Critics argue that such resolutions are intended to redraw House districts to secure a greater Democratic advantage in retaliation for Republican-driven redistricting efforts in states like Texas.
The newly formed commission will be led by Maryland Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks. It will conduct public hearings, solicit feedback from residents, and ultimately provide recommendations to both the governor and the Maryland General Assembly on potential redistricting plans.
“My commitment has been clear from day one—we will explore every avenue possible to make sure Maryland has fair and representative maps,” Governor Moore said in a news release. “This commission will ensure the people are heard. I thank those who have raised their hands to lead this process, and I am confident in their ability to gather the views and perspectives of a broad range of voices throughout the state.”
The commission’s work will be closely watched as the political landscape continues to shift ahead of the 2026 elections.
