00:00Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute.
00:09I come from Missouri, and the people I represent have serious concerns.
00:15They're worried about paying for health care.
00:18They're worried about the cost of food and affordable housing,
00:21or raising families with some measure of security.
00:24What they are not worried about is a mid-decade power grab in Jefferson City.
00:31But that's exactly what's happening.
00:34This isn't about fair representation.
00:36It's about politicians trying to lock in their power by carving up Kansas City
00:42and silencing voices they do not want to hear.
00:46Voices like Congressman Cleaver, a man of integrity who has served this chamber,
00:52our state, and our country with dignity and distinction for decades.
00:59No one asked for this, not the stakeholders, not the business community,
01:03and most importantly, not the people of Missouri.
01:07Let's not mince words.
01:09This is cheating.
01:10It's cowardice.
01:11And if we allow it, we are telling Missourians that their voices don't matter.
01:16Our democracy doesn't belong to partisan mapmakers.
01:20It belongs to the people.
01:22I yield back.
01:23Gentlemen, yields.
01:24For what purpose does a gentlewoman from Ohio seek recognition?
