Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair accuses Texas Republicans of silencing Latino voters with redistricting plan

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) accused Texas Republicans of silencing Latino voters with their proposed redistricting plan in a letter first obtained by The Hill on Friday. In a letter addressed to Cody Vasut, chair of the Texas Committee on Redistricting, and vice chair Jon Rosenthal, Espaillat described the new congressional map proposed by Texas Republicans as “a blatant power grab that undermines democracy and silences Latino voters.”
