FOX 7 Discussion: The first draft of redistricting map in Texas

Former Texas GOP Chairman James Dickey and Ed Espinosa, the president of Progress Texas, join Mike Warren to talk about the first draft of the redistricting map for Texas.

AUSTIN, Texas - The Texas Republican Party has been criticized over new congressional maps as lawmakers are required to redraw districts after every census.
