It was pretty amazing to see the large crowd at the State Redistricting meeting on Tuesday. The turnout was great and the number of average citizens testifying before the Redistricting Committee was awe-inspiring. I’m glad to see the average citizen being interested in the political process.

One America was there in force, proposing that we adopt the “Unity Map” proposal to try to get a Minority-Majority congressional district. https://www.weareoneamerica.org/sites/weareoneamerica.org/files/UnityMap.pdf. I’m sure there’ll be a lot more discussion about this in the near-future.
