Congressman Wiley Nickel on a new plan to end gerrymandering and his recent trip to Ukraine
Manage episode 414003959 series 16410
Thanks to new and gerrymandered congressional maps enacted last fall by the Republican-dominated state legislature, the outcomes to almost all of North Carolina’s fall congressional elections have been pre-decided. One lawmaker directly impacted by this is Triangle-area Democratic Congressman Wiley Nickel, who saw his formerly competitive district transformed into one that only a Republican can win.
To his credit, however, Nickel has resolved to make the term he’s serving in Congress an impactful one and last week, he sat down with Newsline to discuss several areas in which he’s been working hard – including advancing a bill to rein gerrymandering in the future, traveling to Ukraine to witness firsthand the battle to resist Vladimir Putin’s criminal invasion, and championing legislation to protect the right to in vitro fertilization.
Editor’s note: NC Newsline’s interview was recorded April 16th, prior to the U.S. House voting to advance the bipartisan foreign aid package.
