GET YOUR COMMENTS TO THE REDISTRICTING COMMISSION BY OCT 4: https://www.redistricting.wa.gov/
Redistricting Part 2: Evelyn Lopez returns to the studio with Phil Gardner and Marty Campbell to discuss Washington’s redistricting process. The maps are out! The four Redistricting Commissioners have each issued a proposed map with redrawn Legislative Districts and Congressional Districts, and the accusations of gerrymandering are flying!
The easiest to read maps can be found in two Seattle Times articles. Zoom in and find your district, then look around at the changes proposed for the rest of the state:
- Legislative Districts: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/redistricting-democrats-and-republicans-release-competing-washington-legislative-maps/
- Congressional Districts: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/fight-looms-over-2022-midterms-as-democrats-and-republicans-propose-dueling-washington-congressional-maps/
The maps are just the start. From this point, the process is about negotiations and bargaining. Listen to the discussion, and our sideline into what is going on in the 27th LD now that a Senate seat appointment will be happening at the same time, and let us know what you think.
And no matter what, get your comments to the Redistricting Commission. It really matters.
