AUSTIN — The GOP-led Texas House kicked off debate Wednesday on a redistricting plan that would pit several Republican lawmakers against one another if they decide to seek re-election.
Some Republican members and activists want to make the map a bolder grab for conservative seats and limit the number of losses. But House leaders say they can do only so much given the constraints of federal anti-discrimination laws and shifts in population away from conservative rural areas and toward the suburbs that have seen explosive and diverse population growth.
