Statements on the Supreme Court’s order on N.J. congressional redistricting

By David Wildstein, February 03 2022 11:55 am

DEMOCRATIC STATE CHAIRMAN LEROY JONES, JR.

“The New Jersey Supreme Court’s ruling dismissing the Republican challenge to the adopted Congressional redistricting map reinforces what we have said throughout this matter — that the map is constitutional, that the process was fair and that the outcome is in the best interests of the diverse communities that make up our state. Now we look forward to working with our congressional candidates, party leaders and grassroots advocates to win these races and make sure New Jersey does its part as one of the states that is most critical to maintaining Democratic control of the House of Representatives.”

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING CHAIR JANICE FULLER

“We are very pleased that the Supreme Court has unanimously and overwhelmingly denied Republican attempts to sabotage the redistricting process and will allow the adopted map to stand and this matter to conclude. It has always been clear that the Republican lawsuit was absolutely meritless and amounted to nothing more than political theater intended to play to their radical base, not any genuine concern about fairness or voting rights. Attacking our democratic institutions with meritless claims is an attack on our democracy. We are glad that the Supreme Court agreed with our defense and affirmed that the Commission produced a fair and responsive map that reflects the diversity of New Jersey.”
