Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman and Senator Mike Folmer said, “We still believe these issues in this case are vital constitutional questions that deserve to be heard, including the PA Supreme Court taking on the role of creating legislation. The state court’s decision to draw maps takes us down a path for the creation of another legislative body in Pennsylvania.”
Meanwhile, Governor Tom Wolf praised the courts’ ruling. According to him, the state will now be able to “move forward with the new and fair congressional maps.
Additionally, the governor reiterated that Pennsylvanians are “tired of gerrymandering.”
