Fight Back MD, a ballot issue committee primarily funded by the AFSCME Working Families Fund, has sent out a new mailer advocating for the passage of State Question 3. Passage of the question would enable General Assembly Democrats to resume their congressional district gerrymandering of the prior decade, which saw the creation of some of the most gerrymandered districts in the nation.
Like the first mailer, this one heavily emphasizes the need to “fight back” against President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies as they seek to maintain their congressional majority. However, the question would do nothing to change congressional districts this year. It would only enable renewed gerrymandering efforts to begin in 2028 at the earliest. Trump’s unpopularity in Maryland makes citing him a politically understandable argument, but these mailers omit important context for voters.
The new mailer is reprinted below.
