Description

Peter Hancock hosts a discussion about a proposed state constitutional amendment in Illinois to reform the redistricting process. Former Clinton administration Commerce Secretary and Chief of Staff Bill Daley and former Republican congressman and Obama administration Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood advocate for an independent commission to draw state legislative district maps, aiming to reduce partisan gerrymandering. They cite past failures, such as the 2016 effort thwarted by the Illinois Supreme Court, and propose a simpler process for 2026.
