You make the call. Did Spanberger lie to voters during the campaign about how she would not pursue this gerrymandered redistricting?
What she said when she was running.
In 2019, Spanberger publicly criticized gerrymandering and positioned herself as a supporter of fair, non‑partisan redistricting.
According to reporting, she said that:
Gerrymandering is “detrimental to our democracy.”
Opposing it should be a “bipartisan priority.”
She supported Virginia’s independent redistricting commission, which voters approved in 2020.
These comments aligned her with a reform‑oriented, anti‑gerrymandering position.
And today.
Supporting a Democratic‑led redistricting amendment
Backing a plan that critics say would create a 10–1 Democratic congressional map
Arguing that the change is a temporary.
