I am writing to request that Broomfield county does not get divided during the redistricting process as it is a smaller community and should have one cohesive district for its guidance.

Come on! You can't be serious moving Loveland into the district with Greeley. Loveland has no business being lumped in with Weld County. Weld County has more in common with the Arkansas Valley than Loveland. As the gateway to Rocky Mt National Park, Loveland focuses on tourism and recreation, not agriculture and fracking. The Loveland/Fort Collins corridor connected by I-25 and 287 is its own community. Many Lovelanders use professional services available in Fort Collins and belong to social groups and churches there. PLEASE DO NOT pair Loveland with Weld County and points south and east. PLEASE use common sense and keep Larimer County whole.

I support the Schuster Map because I believe the western slope region needs to be adequately represented in a competeitive fashion, rather thatn being gerrymandered in a partisan way that eliminates the ability for the majority of residents to be represented.

I support the Shuster Map. It creates three competitive districts, to match the needs of our community's of interest. Rural agriculture communities need mountain town markets and jobs. Southern Colorado competitive districts are needed for our region to create solutions and work together.

I support the Schuster Map which keeps our CD3 communities contiguous and keeps the district competitive.

It makes no sense to remove Loveland from District 2. It should be with Ft Collins.

Dear Redistricting Commissioners, I am adding to my suggestions about requesting that Loveland be returned to Congressional District 2. As you consider how to revise the second draft, please add Loveland to CD 2 and keep Greeley in the new CD8 as their significant Latin X community would increase that Community of Interest with other cities such as Thornton and Westminister. I believe that CD4 would more appropriately include the Arkansas Valley communities. Thank you! Kathleen Wilson

I support the Schuster map. It would lead to competitive districts. It would keep representation of Boulder Valley’s interests apart from areas with little in common. Thank you for your work on this.

The Schuster Map provides the most fair representation of the Western slope. Gets urban Boulder away from the Western Slope - Keeps Roaring Fork Valley - Glenwood, Eagle, Aspen, Vail whole - Keeps San Luis Valley and Pueblo whole - Creates THREE COMPETITIVE DISTRICTS

Comment:

The town of Loveland, CO should NOT be in a different congressional district than Fort Collins, CO. The interests and concerns of the two communities are similar. They are both in southern Larimer County, they are no more than 10 miles from each other, and there is almost no land between the two communities that is still undeveloped. Shoppers go easily from one to the other. Loveland has no connection at all with other communities is the proposed Congressional District 4. There are certainly rural areas near the southern part of proposed Congressional District 4 that fit better into District 4 than does Loveland. Thank you for your work.
