The article discusses a coalition of corporate leaders who have voiced their concerns about gerrymandering, the practice of manipulating electoral district boundaries to favor one political party over another. The coalition argues that monopolies in politics are just as problematic as they are in business, as they stifle competition and undermine the democratic process. The article notes that the coalition, known as the Business for American Promise, has called for an end to gerrymandering and for the adoption of fair and impartial redistricting processes.
