2.3.22 - Senator Fred Akshar Blasts NY Senate Democrats Gerrymander

Today I stood up and spoke out for the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers who voted 3 times at the ballot in the past few years alone to stop New York politicians from gerrymandering their own district lines.

One Party Rule's response? "We don't care what you think. We don't care what you say. We don't care how you vote. We care about our own political longevity."

Today the so-called leaders in Albany put their shamelessness, callousness and their arrogance on full display by putting an end to independent redistricting and drawing their own political lines for their own political benefit.

Easily the most shameful, undemocratic and unAmerican piece of legislation the Senate has taken up in my 6 years in Albany.

Today I voted for the voice of the people over politicians and proudly voted "NO."
