The 2021 Washington State Redistricting Commission failed to create maps that represent the people. In August 2023, a federal court declared the 15th Legislative District in Yakima Valley to be discriminatory and the maps must be redrawn. The outreach process was muted because partisan interests prevailed behind closed doors. The people of Washington State deserve better.
We deserve district lines that best represent the people of the state and give us the best chance to elect the representatives of our choice. We want a People First Redistricting Commission. Join us on Saturday, November 18th 10 a.m. - noon for this don’t-miss training to get started.
