It is time for Congress to limit redistricting to once per decade and for all sides to come together to end gerrymandering for good.
Work to limit redistricting to once per decade and end gerrymandering.
Occurrences
Evidence
"We need independent redistricting and fair representation in every state." The page also says Kiley has introduced H.R. 4889 to prohibit mid-decade redistricting.
Kiley said, "I have opened a discharge position to bring this legislation to a vote on the House Floor." The post identifies H.R. 4889 as a bill that prohibits mid-decade redistricting unless a federal court orders a new map.
The House calendar lists "Discharge the Committee on the Judiciary from the consideration of the bill (H.R. 4889) to prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment; Filed May 12, 2026. H.R. 4889; Mr. Kiley of California."
Kiley said, "My bill, H.R. 4889, would bar mid-decade redistricting in every State in the country" and urged the Speaker to bring the bill to the floor so Congress could "end this madness" and "stop mid-decade gerrymandering."
Assessments
Kiley introduced and promoted H.R. 4889 to prohibit mid-decade congressional redistricting and filed a discharge petition to try to force House consideration. That is a serious legislative attempt during his current federal term, but the evidence shows the bill remained pending in the discharge-petition process and had not enacted the promised limits or broader anti-gerrymandering outcome. Under the rubric, a serious but unsuccessful attempt is not delivery, with effort credit.
