Please keep the neighborhood of applewood grove with golden. (West of Youngfield and south of 20th.) putting us with Lakewood is not area of community. We have a golden address and are part of the golden community. My husband runs trail work projects and help out golden businesses with his weekly run club for the past 7 years. We would like to remain part of that district and have a diverse neighborhood. Thank you

I disagree with Greenridge's proposal, and confused by the data points. I would say throw SW Longmont in with the Boulder folks as they are Boulder wanna he's, but just can't afford ultra liberal Boulder. East Longmont of Pace, where I live, needs to be with majority Longmont to BALANCE the insane left learners. If you put us east sides in w our friends to the East--you will not achieve party parity as we're more conservative, and I need to be w the liberals to attempt some minuscule of reality of re-education to them as their Trump hatred perhaps recedes to where they look at policies. You can't seriously tell me the dominate Hispanic vote west of Pace, east of Francis is Republican--please turn off the gaslighting!

Pueblo West is a unique community with a sense of identity. Pueblo West deserves to be united in the Colorado House map. Staff Map 3 splits up Pueblo West, which does not honor what the constitution calls for, which is not splitting communities of interest. Pueblo West is classified as a Metro District, which makes it a community of interest. Please keep Pueblo West whole in the state house map as there doesn’t seem to be any reason to split it up into two separate districts.

Ladies and Gentlemen As a long time resident of Jackson County we have had no representation from front range legislators because it is difficult to get here from the front range. This situation will not improve if we are forced to have representation from both state and federal legislators. We would much rather be represented by legislators from the west slope who can get here more easily and often. Thank you for your time. Ty Wattenberg.

The proposal to cut @10,000 Longmont residents out of eastern Longmont and place them in a district with Firestone, Frederick etc is a bad idea. These smaller more rural communities have little or nothing in common with us in eastern Longmont. These Weld county communities are nothing like Longmont and have completely different interests resulting in folks like me being completely unrepresented in the Colorado legislature. Please don’t cut us out of our community again!

If you truly are interested in what Coloradans view as their communities of interest please consider how your preliminary map was drawn. Those of us in Fremont County and other rural areas were more fairly represented. Highly urban counties, such as Jefferson, do not share the same local economies, interests, lifestyles or values that rural Coloradans do. Thank you for submitting a map that draws more similarities from the late June preliminary map that more likely ensures that our rural Colorado voice is heard and not drowned out by suburban and urban residents.

The North Park Hill Neighborhood Community has a rich history of being a space for opportunities to allow a vastly diverse group of people stabilize and grow. We value creating equity for people of all colors and creeds, advocating to empower the marginalized. Any time issues arise that disproportionately effect marginalized communities we work to make things more equitable.

I appreciate the work and am convinced that Staff Map 3 for Senate and House is a good/balanced option for El Paso County - It maintains communities that are similar in interest for these (HD15, HD18, HD17). I support Staff Map 3 for final approval.
