I respectfully request that. Centennial is all in the same Congressional District. In fact, I think all cities/towns should be in the same district.

I have just read that the State of Colorado will get one more house seat and hoping that this is an opportunity for our liberal county (Pitkin) to get out of the 3rd district and get redistricted with other like- minded communities so that we could finally enjoy some representation in the U.S. House. My past and current representatives are in a "safe" seat; the seat is safe for republicans because of the sprawling, largely rural nature of the district. As such, my representative does not have to listen to the views and opinions of those of us in the districts' more liberal communities to get elected; indeed, it would be nice if they did, even just out of consideration, but they do not. I have not felt that I have had any representation in the House for the last decade. I think I speak for a large number of residents in Pitkin, Eagle, Garfield, and Gunnison Counties who need access to affordable health and child care, recognize the importance of immigrant labor and public lands to our local economies, and support common sense gun controls. The Representatives of the Colorado 3rd district and their supporters are opposed to all of these things so none of us are getting what we need from our representation in congress. You are in a position to help us through the redistricting map, which could group ski country into the same district and unite these communities under representation that could help us get what we need for our communities to continue to prosper. Thank you for your consideration.

As a resident of Pueblo County, I find much common interest with the San Luis Valley because many of us have family there and a shared history going back to land grant times. There is little common interest with the Western Slope, though, and I resent having a person who doesn't truly represent me as my congressperson.

The 2nd Congressional District - which previously represented Jefferson County to the Wyoming border - absorbed the northeast corner of rural Park County after the 2010 census. The 5th District was thereby diminished and a portion of North Park County was severed from its rural community while those voters' choice for representation in the U.S. Congress was effectively negated. Additionally, the new district border left the towns of Bailey, Shawnee and Grant each politically cut in half. These are the very reasons that prompted a Supreme Court decision. In 2019, four states had their Congressional districts ordered redrawn before the 2020 election. The federal courts where the lawsuits were filed, followed by the Supreme Court, deemed their gerrymandered districts unconstitutional. Their decision states that a gerrymander shall not "violate the citizen's right to association" nor "dilute the vote." Colorado has already grown in population past the threshold of qualifying for an eighth district, which will be official after the 2020 census is settled. Now is the time to prime the Amendment Y Committee to pay attention to how the new district lines should be drawn to correct what is no longer legally tolerated. We need to hold their feet to the fire to pressure that decision in favor of re-uniting Park County and restoring ALL it's rural mountain representation. https://www.pinecam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=1869694#p1869694

Park County needs to be reunited as a single unit under both the congressional and state districts. In 2010, the northeast portion of Park was separated from the rest of the county and joined with Boulder. We have NOTHING to do with Boulder. We are rural citizens and moved here for that very reason. The entire county is under one county commissioner body, our 4H clubs compete at one county fair, and we have one Road & Bridge department serving all our interests. We need to be considered a unified entity.

I moved back to Steamboat Springs from the front range in 2015 and have not felt represented adequately in district 3 as a resident of Steamboat Springs in Routt county. I have left numerous messages with my representatives only to be ignored regularly by them as our community goals and values in Routt county are not the same community goals as another county in western Colorado. We have one of the larger populations in rural Colorado and are not being adequately represented. We are being washed out for representation by smaller counties. District 3 is entirely too large and cannot possibly represent the people adequately. We are a ski town with travelers from all over the world, we benefit from very different things than other small towns in rural Colorado. They of course deserve to be represented but our needs are very different and so is our representation.

The program calculates awards based on the number of completed cases per hour and hours worked per week, regardless of whether the work was completed accurately. Awards on this basis may reward employees producing errors in completed cases—whether intentional or accidental—and lead to an increased number of reinterviews than would otherwise be required to ensure data quality. ●How many Enumerators received ‘BONUSES’? ●What percentage of allocated funds were paid out to Enumerators for ‘BONUSES’? ●What impact on current and future DATA INTEGRITY will the malfunctions of the FDC Tool Mapping application and the missing APARTMENT COMPLEX NAME and ADDRESS from the daily CASE LIST i.e. (Production Database) have on the Master Address File (MAF), MAF/TIGER, other CENSUS products and CENSUS DATA LAKE et.al? ●What impact on current and future DATA INTEGRITY will the malfunctions of the FDC Tool Mapping application e.g. results of inaccurate Mapping and Management Monitoring, have on the Master Address File (MAF), MAF/TIGER, other CENSUS products and CENSUS DATA LAKE et.al? _____________________________________________________________________________ (301-763-INFO (4636) or 800-923-8282 or ask.census.gov DEPUTY CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER GREGG "SKIP" BAILEY 763-0989 2018-present CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER BEAU HOUSER 763-1235 Aug 2019 - present ●Did Management know the removal of the MULTI-UNIT Module cascaded throughout the Enumerator FDC Tool, removing the APARTMENT COMPLEX NAME and ADDRESS from the daily CASE LIST provided to Enumerators? ●Was Management aware the absence of the APARTMENT COMPLEX NAME and ADDRESS resulted in the RANDOM presentation of the CASE LIST, rather than an industry standard of Alpha/Alpha Numeric SORT’ing? ●Was Management aware the absence of the APARTMENT COMPLEX NAME and ADDRESS resulted in the Enumerators being required to “Scroll the CASE LIST” every time to select a new Apartment Unit Address?

What shared interests unite your community? A lot of people in Weld County like guns. I don't though. Rural lifestyle would be another uniting interest. What are your community’s public policy concerns? Affordable housing, attracting large employers, and funding education. What geographic areas or features are important to your community? Not much. Poudre Ponds and the Cache La Poudre River. South Platte River. What else should the commissions know about your community? Weld County is very diverse in its ethnic makeup with many new Americans, immigrants and refugees.

Friends, Please find attached a 35-district proposal for redistricting the Colorado State Senate. The map's districts were drawn using the existing map as a basis, and then shifting with the intent to increase compactness while bringing population totals for each district in line with one-another. Most noticeably you will find that the 16th has been adjusted to be completely within Jefferson County, and no longer snakes into Denver, Boulder, and Gilpin counties. Thank you for keeping politics out of the process and maintaining the dignity of the service for which you've been selected.
