Gov. Hogan submits bill to redraw Maryland’s gerrymandered 6th District
By Jennifer Barrios Jennifer Barrios Reporter covering Montgomery County government and politics Email Bio Follow March 29 at 5:24 PM Republican Gov. Larry Hogan sent a bill to the Maryland General Assembly this week that would create new boundaries for the state’s gerrymandered 6th Congressional District, but the Democrats who control the legislature appear unlikely to act on it before adjourning April 8.
Hughes said Hogan provided no information to legislators about his bill before sending it over. She questioned the composition of the Hogan-appointed commission that designed the new district, saying there were “serious questions about registered lobbyists, out-of-state residents, and Republican fundraisers apparently drawing the map.”“We’re asking for an up-or-down vote, or at least a hearing,” Hogan spokesman Michael Ricci said.
It ultimately opted to go with a map submitted by an Oregon-based writer for the liberal politics blog Daily Kos. Meanwhile, two of the commission’s unaffiliated members resigned after it was determined they were not eligible to serve in the group. One had been a registered lobbyist, while the other had not been a Maryland voter for at least three consecutive years.
