Greetings and thank you from your service to our community. You are hugely important in creating a fair future for all of the citizens of Colorado. I urge you to take a stand for transparency by rejecting any maps that could be tarnished by the ongoing, unreported lobbying to gerrymander legislative districts for the GOP. You must reject maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff if you are going to be fair to all of us. Thank you for your attention to this development attempting to influence your hard work. Bonita Bock 2437 Downing St Denver, Co 80205

Reject any partisan redistricting, only the bipartisan maps should be considered. There must be 100% transparency in this process.

It was decided by the voters of Colorado to have a nonpartisan commission to draw up the maps for redistricting. It was not decided by the voters to have the 2 Republican members of that body to draw up their own maps. Please reject the maps drawn up by Barnett and Kottwitz and support the maps that were drawn up by the nonpartisan commission. Our democracy is trying to be held up by these 2 Republican members. Please reject what they are trying to do.

I understand that redistricting is taking place and that republican redistricting commissioners have submitted a map that was not done in a nonpartisan, independent fashion. I encourage you to reject this one in favor of the map that neutral staff have submitted. These redistricting attempts to gain republican control are ridiculous and underhanded!

I voted for the establishment of the Commission. One of the poOt now appears that It now appears that non-partisan created maps may be replaced by maps created by partisan, back room lobbying, gerrymandering and non-transparent pedaling. The voters deserve better. The use of these maps wholly or even partially will cause citizens to lose faith in this process created by a desire for better, responsive government. Your responsibility in this era of great division in our society is to consider your role in improving this. My community is like a suburb in a city. Our interests have been very well represented by our Representatives and Senators. I wish our House District had not been divided into three districts and new areas that may or may not agree on our widely, highly suortef ideals. I wish my district, HD6 and not SD31 had not been divided. bIT I am willing to accept our new ma as a response to input and your guiding principle. I am not going to accept a map that is made by a politically influenced process. The newly proposed maps, not staff’s must MOT be used in the smallest adjustment,

I urge you to utilize the maps suggested by the neutral redistricting staff which submitted their final set of legislative maps to the commission. This would ensure fair representation for the people of Colorado. You should reject maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff. Thank you, Arleen Richter

I'm a Dem in 3rd district, very republican. the new attempt to wreck the new congressional map by 2 repubs is a travesty and must not be allowed to proceed, as it is a direct attempt to gerrymander the approved map. The 2 members of your commission pushing this are NOT operating in good faith--as was required!--and any proposals from them must be quickly rejected. Thanks to whoever reads this note.

Please reject any maps that might be tarnished by the lobbying of Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz. The whole purpose of independent redistricting is to avoid gerrymandering, as you know. Please support only maps drawn by nonpartisan staff as voters want.
