Mexican American Legislative Caucus files petition to depose Adam Foltz, a GOP operative who aided Chair Hunter with redistricting

MALC argues the deposition is necessary to “investigate potential violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act.”

The Mexican American Legislative Caucus is asking a state district court judge in Travis County to order the deposition of a GOP operative hired this year to assist with the redrawing of Texas political boundaries.

The nation’s largest and oldest group of its kind said the deposition is necessary to “investigate potential violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act.”

“Specifically, MALC seeks to depose Adam Foltz, a partisan redistricting operative employed by the Texas Legislative Council, a non-partisan state agency that supports the Legislature in drafting and analyzing proposed legislation, which also manages the internal mapping tool lawmakers use to draw electoral maps,” MALC said in a news release.
