Testimony of
Michael C. Li
Senior Counsel
Brennan Center for Justice
At New York University School of Law
Meeting of
The Senate Select Committee on Redistricting
Austin, Texas
September 24, 2021
at 10:00 a.m.
SB 4 and SB 7
Chairwoman Huffman, Vice Chairman Hinojosa, and members of the Select
Committee:
Thank you for the invitation to testify before the Senate Select Committee on
Redistricting.
The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law is a
nonpartisan public policy and legal institute that works to reform, revitalize, and defend
our country's systems of democracy and justice. For more than two decades, the Brennan
Center has built up a large body of nationally respected research and work on these
issues, including in the fields of redistricting and election law. I am Senior Counsel in
the Center's Democracy Program, where my work focuses on redistricting and the
census.
My remarks today focus on North Texas, and, in particular, Tarrant County,
because Plan S2101 raises a number red flags with respect to treatment of minority
communities in the DFW Metroplex. However, the themes of my remarks are more
broadly applicable to the state as a whole, particularly its urban and suburban areas, and to
other maps in addition to state senate maps.
