"Gerrymandering is a real issue…We are electing people who are either further to the right or further to the left, and I think we need more members of Congress who recognize that there's value on both sides, that being fiscally conservative does not have to be a Democrat or Republican issue. Being responsible with tax dollars that are being provided by the people across this country, that's a responsibility that we all have.

Drawing congressional lines so that you have safe Republican and safe Democrat districts, I think that we end up electing people who are really not that interested in the middle," says former congresswoman Jill Long Thompson.
