Redistricting in Colorado - Impact on our Democracy & Next Steps

RSVP to skyler@jstreet.org for Zoom link.

In 2018, Colorado voters passed two ballot referenda to create two independent commissions for congressional reapportionment and legislative redistricting. The two new commissions are each composed of a 12-member panel of 4 Democrats, 4 Republicans, and 4 Unaffiliated voters; no commissioners can be recently elected officials, political candidates, or lobbyists.

The progress these commissions have made are coming to a town hall near you and taking public comment throughout the summer.

Hear what Rick Ridder, president and co-founder of RBI Strategies and Research has to say about the current process and how to make your voice heard as a citizen of Colorado.
