Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said Sunday his state is not “going to sit on our hands” amid the nationwide redistricting fight.

Last week, Moore formed a redistricting advisory commission to explore redrawing Maryland’s congressional maps. “If other states are going to go through this process … we’re not just going to sit on our hands because Donald Trump tells us to,” Moore told CBS’s Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.” “That’s not the way this process is going to work.

Moore, echoing his Tuesday press release, said Sunday the commission will speak with Marylanders across the state in effort to draw “fair maps.” Maryland currently has seven Democrats and one Republican in its House delegation.

The push from Moore comes as California voters, with more than 64 percent in support, passed Proposition 50 to give the state Legislature authority over the Golden State’s congressional maps until the state’s independent commission reclaims control in 2030.
