I remember this like it was yesterday. As a member of the leadership team in the Florida House I bucked the Speaker and voted “no” on the original bill that @GovRonDeSantis vetoed. That forced us to introduce this bill that led to the extra seats. So worth it. Always vote your convictions.

🚨 BREAKING: Supreme Court of Florida OFFICIALLY UPHOLDS Governor Ron DeSantis' 20 R - 8 D Congressional map, ruling that Republicans were CORRECT to remove the district gerrymandered for black voters. "We uphold our state’s congressional districting plan, because the federal Equal Protection Clause prohibits the racially gerrymandered district that the plaintiffs demand." The years-long left-wing challenge to this absolutely AMAZING pro-GOP map has failed. In 2022, Florida's map gave the GOP *+4 SEATS.* It removed an insanely gerrymandered Democrat seat, which is what they used to try and strike it down. They lost. DeSantis and Republicans win.
