  3. Trump’s EPA has:

    -Killed $15 million in research into forever chemicals in farmlands -Attempted to roll back forever chemical limits in drinking water -Delayed rules requiring corporations to report their forever chemical usage

    On the left is the results of the 2002 election.

    In 2003, Republicans gerrymandered the state.

    The right is the result after the 2004 elections.

    Gerrymandering is the reason he thinks we’re red.

    We are just highly gerrymandered… and they want to do it even more.
