Please reject the attempts by partisan, Republican commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz to push through maps gerrymandering the legislative districts. In Fort Collins, in particular, where I live, the present division of House Districts along College Avenue corresponds to a community reality, as does the present Senate District. Please respect School District maps as well as long established communities of interest. Thank you

Republican legislative Redistricting Commissioners Hunter Barnett (R) and Aislinn Kottwitz (R) are working with non-disclosing and unregistered GOP operatives lobbying to shove through a last-minute set of maps to the Supreme Court that would fundamentally alter the make-up of the state senate and house, almost certainly ensuring control for Colorado Republicans over the next decade. This is a mockery of everything that Independent Redistricting Commissions are meant to stand for. Please don't allow this to happen!!! Colleen

Republican Commissioners Hunter Barnett and Aislinn Kottwitz, who are members of the Legislative Redistricting Commission, are attempting to gerrymander the Colorado Senate and House, ensuring Republican control of the state assembly for the next decade. On Tuesday, nonpartisan, neutral redistricting staff submitted their final set of legislative maps to the commission, which would ensure fair representation for the people of Colorado, as they wanted.

Please reject maps being pushed by Commissioners Barnett and Kottwitz and support maps drawn by nonpartisan staff. Act with transparency.

Please support your staff maps - don't let specific members of the commission (partisan members) push through maps that are a result of party lobbying - undisclosed at that. Make this truly non-partisan, and transparent.
