Gerrymandering, politicians picking the voters who ought to be picking them is sadly a nationwide trend. Common Cause is pushing back wherever it happens, but it's nice to see some leadership on this issue right across the DC border.<\/p>

That's why it's so refreshing to see Maryland Delegate Heather Mizeur take on cronyism in her own party, announcing this week that c\u1ea3i c\u00e1ch ph\u00e2n chia l\u1ea1i khu v\u1ef1c b\u1ea7u c\u1eed<\/a> s\u1ebd l\u00e0 n\u1ec1n t\u1ea3ng quan tr\u1ecdng trong chi\u1ebfn d\u1ecbch tranh c\u1eed c\u1ee7a b\u00e0 cho v\u1ecb tr\u00ed th\u1ed1ng \u0111\u1ed1c c\u1ee7a \u0111\u1ea3ng D\u00e2n ch\u1ee7.<\/p>

Mizeur wants an independent, nonpartisan commission to draw legislative districts, instead of letting politicians draw maps that best protect their incumbents. We've seen this work before -- after a similar proposal was enacted in California, with the help of Common Cause's state chapter, one in 4 incumbents in the state's notoriously stagnant House delegation<\/a> \u0111\u00e3 thua trong cu\u1ed9c t\u00e1i tranh c\u1eed.<\/p>

It's easy to bang the reformist drum when the beat serves your political interests. But calling out your own party, as Mizeur has done, and several of her Democratic colleagues did in the General Assembly, risks making powerful enemies and takes real guts.<\/p>

As she battles the current lieutenant governor and establishment favorite for the nomination, Mizeur could just be making a calculated move to play up her outsider credentials. But even if that's true, this is the right thing to do. As the old saying goes, good policy makes good politics; let's just hope her opponents follow her lead.<\/p>
