Yes for Independent Maps

While the primary election campaign season has just ended and the general election campaign has yet to get into full swing, there is an ongoing campaign that needs your attention and support.  Yes for Independent Maps is a nonpartisan coalition that is trying to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November.  This amendment would stop the practice of gerrymandering by our statewide officials when it comes time to redraw our statewide voting district after the next census.  Last week, the partisan ballots were filled with incumbents running without opposition or ballot positions that were simply empty.   This is a product of the gerrymandered maps drawn by our elected officials to guarantee their reelection with little or no opposition.  Help us stop this practice by requiring our statewide legislative maps to be drawn by an independent commission.  Support Yes for Independent Maps by signing their petition so that this amendment can be on the ballot for approval next November.  The petition campaign will be ending by mid April.   For more information, please visit www.independentmaps.org.
