Raskin's official press-release feed shows June 9, 2026 as the latest post, followed by May 27, May 22, and May 21 items; none of the visible recent posts mention redistricting commissions or a federal map-drawing overhaul.

Current official office updates show no recent public step toward the promised nationwide independent redistricting commission. This is an inference from the page's listed recent items rather than an affirmative redistricting statement.

Axios reported that House Democrats were temporarily setting aside Eric Holder's nonpartisan redistricting-reform push to focus on fighting GOP mid-decade redistricting, and quoted Raskin saying he did not see debate inside the party over that strategy.

Raskin remained engaged in redistricting politics, but the cited activity was a tactical response to partisan redistricting rather than enactment of nationwide independent commissions.
