I understand that the preliminary map to redistrict puts West Highlands Ranch with Sedalia and Larkspur. I am a resident of West Highlands Ranch and while I love Sedalia and Larkspur, we do not share the same interests. West Highlands Ranch has more in common with the rest of Highlands Ranch and other neighboring suburban communities like Centennial and Lone Tree. My family and neighbors will lose our voices if we are grouped with communities that are much more rural. We do not share the same housing, business, road, and water interests. Please keep West Highlands Ranch with it's suburban, not rural, neighbors. Thank you.

My residence is JAMESTOWN. My family does all our shopping, education, spiritual gatherings, cultural events and restaurants in Boulder. We are in the foothills but only 8 miles from north Broadway in Boulder. Our community, including JAMESTOWN, since we both graduated from CU Boulder in the ‘70’s, has been in Boulder County not the western slope. It’s our hub and we emphatically prefer present districting over the proposed re-districting. We couldn’t be farther ideologically from Ms Boebert and think our representatives represent us best. Thank you.

state house districts comprised of minority majority, should not be split to reduce representation of minorities

I am appalled at this attempt at redistricting District 17. What a lowdown way to strip the southeast of the representation it needs to survive. The Broadmoor does NOT need help. The southeast is where the diverse people live, NOT the Broadmoor. This shows you do not appreciate the diversity in our city, there would be less of a voice for minorities. You will continue to represent everyone else but the southeast residents. This is not democratic, and the sad thing is, you know it. You depend on those who live in this neighborhood, struggling to survive, not to show up to dispute this move on your part. I have lived in this area over 40 years. I'm not even a minority. But I'm sick of the disregard for our neighborhoods. I need representation, too!

As a resident who's spends all my money with local business, I find it hard to be that I would get a representative that is in an entirely different part of the state. The issues that surround my area couldn't be more different than the Western slope. Not only does it not make sense on a relevant level, there is no direct way to cover the physical ground as it's over mountain ranges with no major highway.

After viewing the following redrawing of the state’s election maps after the 2020 Census, it doesn’t look good for the city’s only district with a majority population of people of color. The new maps take House District 17 (Tony Exum is currently serving in this district) and split it into Districts 44 and 45. The current district is split in half along Fountain Boulevard – with the northern half combined with communities up to Austin Bluffs Parkway and the southern half with the Broadmoor and Downtown. This would seem to be an effort to add more citizens of caucasian ethnicity and/or financially more secure individuals in order to skew possible further election issues.

Please do not split District 17. This district will be swallowed up by two other districts and their voices and representation will not be valued the same as it would if their district remained in tact. District 17 has the most black and brown residents of any current district. They deserve to have their unique interests an d concerns represented by an elected official that they voted for, not the predominantly white districts (who they will be divided and subsequently absorbed into). If this city TRULY values diversity then this is one way to show it rather than just say it. Keep district 17 in tact.
