Reapportionment
Good news, citizens of Jefferson County!
Thanks to overwhelming testimony from residents of Jeffco (and the fact that Adams Co didn't throw their residents under the bus), the Reapportionment Commission is revisiting the drawing of Senate District 19!
Commissioner Atencio commented about two hours into the August 24th Adco public hearing that the commission had already heard from Jeffco and decided to revisit SD19. After a round of applause broke out, she clarified "we can't promise anything". However, as I mentioned in Reapportionment II, this commission does seem to be listening to the citizens who are taking the time to get involved.
So, once again, I'd like to thank all of you who have emailed, come to the hearings or testified. I know we are all busy, but it is important to take a minute and a deep breath, and pat yourself on the back for caring enough to make a difference. Reagan said, "If not us, who; if not now, when?" And we at the JeffcoGOP are proud to be a part of "us".
