Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced a new redistricting commission Tuesday, an apparent attempt to nudge reluctant state lawmakers toward redrawing the state's congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterm elections

“My commitment has been clear from day one—we will explore every avenue possible to make sure Maryland has fair and representative maps,” Moore, a Democrat, said in a statement. “This commission will ensure the people are heard.”

Moore’s party is split on the issue: State Senate President Bill Ferguson said last week that there wasn't the support in his chamber to move forward with a mid-decade redistricting effort. Moore, who is viewed as a potential 2028 presidential contender, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., continued to insist it was on the table.
