Democrats in the General Assembly unveiled their plan Tuesday to reshape the state’s Supreme Court districts Tuesday, hours ahead of their first public hearing on proposed legislative maps released earlier.

Lisa Hernandez, D-Cicero, chair of the House Redistricting Committee, said in a statement. “As we strive for all to be equal before the law, we must ensure we all have an equal voice in choosing those who uphold it.”
