Texas Governor Greg Abbott released a statement following the United States Supreme Court's decision to allow Texas to use its 2025 congressional redistricting maps. The ruling permits the state to implement district boundaries that had previously been contested.

Abbott said, "We won! Texas is officially—and legally—more red. The U.S. Supreme Court restored the redistricting maps passed by Texas that were based on constitutional principles and Supreme Court precedent. The new congressional districts better align our representation in Washington D.C. with the values of our state. This is a victory for Texas voters, for common sense, and for the U.S. Constitution."

The decision follows legal challenges regarding whether the state's new maps complied with federal requirements and prior court decisions. With this ruling, Texas will move forward using these maps for upcoming elections.
