Texas Governor Greg Abbott released a statement following the United States Supreme Court’s decision allowing Texas to use its 2025 congressional redistricting maps. The ruling means that the state’s recently passed district boundaries, which had faced legal challenges, will be in effect for upcoming elections.

Governor Abbott said, “We won! Texas is officially—and legally—more red. The U.S. Supreme Court restored the redistricting maps passed by Texas that were based on constitutional principles and Supreme Court precedent. The new congressional districts better align our representation in Washington D.C. with the values of our state. This is a victory for Texas voters, for common sense, and for the U.S. Constitution.”

The court’s decision follows ongoing debates over how states draw their political boundaries and whether those lines reflect fair representation or partisan interests.
