Mayor Michael Soriano Urges Legislature to Reject Redistricting Proposal

PARSIPPANY — Mayor Michael Soriano has called on the legislature to oppose the legislative redistricting proposal being voted upon this Monday. Soriano released the following statement:

“I am in opposition to the redistricting plan currently in front of the legislature. In our increasingly polarized political climate, our leaders must fight against the corrosive effect of gerrymandering on our democracy, not allow partisan map-making to flourish in yet another state.

I am a proud Democrat, and I have been proud to be a part of the great strides our party has made in this state over the past several years. However, the implementation of a structural advantage that favors one party over another will serve only to delegitimize all future progress our party makes.

The current redistricting process in our state is a model for the rest of the country to follow. From Wisconsin to North Carolina, the Republican Party has drawn themselves gerrymandered maps that strain the concept of democracy. The Democratic Party must be better. We must strive to win on the strength of our ideas, not the strength of our cartography. I implore the legislature to vote this plan down and keep the current redistricting process in place.”
