Sen. Bill Ferguson on whether he has the votes to block redistricting in Maryland

from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 Baltimore

Sen. Bill Ferguson, the President of the Maryland Senate, has been under pressure from Gov. Wes Moore and prominent Democrats around the country to get on board with efforts to counter redistricting efforts by Republican legislators in Texas, North Carolina, Missouri and other states that favor Republican candidates for the House. Ferguson opposes redrawing congressional lines, like California did earlier this month. He joins Midday to make his case for why. In Maryland, congressional redistricting would likely mean drawing lines that give a Democrat a better chance of defeating the 1st District's Rep. Andy Harris, the state's sole Republican congressman.
