She criticized the GOP-controlled Texas House, claiming the map undermines democracy and diminishes minority voting power. Though, Crockett together praised California Democrats for their own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pelosi-who-claims-to-oppose-gerrymandering-funnels-300000-to-democratic-gerrymandering-group\/\" title=\"Pelosi, Who Claims to Oppose Gerrymandering, Funnels 0,000 to Democratic Gerrymandering Group\">partisan gerrymandering efforts<\/a>, including plans to override the state&#8217;s redistricting commission to implement a favorable map. Crockett urged Texas Democrats to match or exceed California&#8217;s approach in response to Republican actions. Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott countered Crockett&#8217;s claims, asserting that most of the newly created Republican seats will still be predominantly Hispanic and argued that minority communities align more with Republican values on issues like border security, women&#8217;s sports, and law enforcement support.
