Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Jaime Harrison is pressing Democrats to make redistricting reform a top priority, calling partisan map-drawing “the singular cancer in our democracy.”

In a Substack post, he argued that Democrats “missed the moment” to pass national guardrails when they held more power and said durable change now requires federal standards and independent commissions in every state.
