Redistricting

Although we are out of session, the redistricting committee is finally scheduling meetings this month. Our focus will be to agree on a set of principles for redistricting, which the courts have historically considered if they are the final deciders on legislative district maps. If you have suggestions on how to improve our redistricting process, please reach out to my office.

Listen to my audio podcast of updates from inside the legislature. The podcast is now available to stream on Pandora.

Thank you for being engaged in Government,

Jeremy Munson

State Representative, 23B
