Dear Colorado Independent Redistricting Commissioners,
Thank you for your service and dedication to our state. When Colorado voters approved Amendments Y & Z, creating the Independent Commissions, voters took redistricting out of the hands of partisan politicians and established robust public input requirements for the entire redistricting process. Public participation is a critical component to ensuring that the maps you draw are fair, equitable, and prioritize communities of interest.
The delays in the release of the 2020 Census data have made your jobs more difficult by requiring the adjustment of multiple deadlines and the use of estimate data to draw preliminary maps. Despite these obstacles, you all have committed to maintaining the robust public input process established in Amendments Y & Z. By committing to hold seven additional public hearings on the staff maps drawn using 2020 Census data, you are ensuring that the public has adequate input on maps drawn with accurate data. Without those hearings you risk compromising the legitimacy of this critical process.
Thank you for your commitment to public participation. These maps will define outcomes for communities across Colorado for a decade, the people deserve to have a say in how the lines are drawn.
Sincerely,
Michelle Sewald
