Republican megadonors are aiming to raise up to $3 million in a legal battle against New York’s congressional district map.
says"this Court should invalidate the unconstitutional congressional map" and repeatedly suggests it is a form of gerrymandering. The practice involves drawing district boundaries for one party's benefit, and has been a common grievance as Democratic and GOP-led states redraw their maps after the 2020 Census.
"The maps produced by the Democrat led New York State legislature will likely cut New York's GOP Congressional delegation from eight to four. If successful, New York Democrats will have produced a significant gain in Speaker Pelosi's goal to maintain her majority in the U.S. House," the document says.
Faso, who ran for reelection in 2018 but lost to Democrat Antonio Delgado, raised over $3 million for his congressional campaign. Between his campaign committee and leadership political action committee, Faso saw a plethora of contributions from business leaders and corporate PACs. It was created as a counter to a similar organization helmed by allies of former President Barack Obama, such as former Attorney General Eric Holder.
"Secretary Pompeo and Governor Christie will be tremendous assets as we raise the resources needed to fight back against the left's attempts to sue to blue," he said at the time, referring to fighting Democratic efforts to gain an advantage in the legislative map.
