Texas redistricting

Conaway is one of several new Texas Republicans added to the House during the 2004 elections as a result of redistricting.

DeLay was indicted by a grand jury in the fall of 2005 for "alleged crimes during the 2002 Statehouse races that gave Republicans the majority, allowing them to redraw the map. With the new map, Republicans picked up five seats last year."[1]

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hand down a final decision on the controversial redistricting before the July 4, 2006 recess. Conaway, whose district could be redrawn as a result of the decision, doesn't plan to change course in an election year. He told The Hill, on March 24, 2006, "At this point, with so little information, you've got to run with what you've got," Conaway said. "I'm confident that the map will stand."[2]
