The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Responds to Florida State Legislature’s Redistricting Case
Washington, DC,
July 23, 2015
Today, CBC Chairman G. K. Butterfield released the following statement in response to the Florida state legislature’s redistricting case: “The Congressional Black Caucus supports a redistricting plan that enables African American communities to have an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice to Congress. We encourage the Florida legislature to draft a redistricting plan that does not retrogress and maintains the current ability of African American Floridians to elect members of Congress.” # # # Since its establishment in 1971, Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) have joined together to empower America’s neglected citizens and address their legislative concerns. For more than 40 years, the CBC has consistently been the voice for people of color and vulnerable communities in Congress and has been committed to utilizing the full Constitutional power and statutory authority of the United States government to ensure that all U.S. citizens have an opportunity to achieve the American Dream.
