Pa Redistricting House map
Dividing Juniata County into an east and west house district will be counterproductive for the cohesiveness of our government. We are one school district; we have very centrally located major industries that are connected heavily with Mifflin County and our medical community is very much connected with the Lewistown area in Mifflin County. I believe we will not have the ability have our voices heard as easily as the current districting or new districting that holds communities together. Cutting communities apart to govern them a different way at the state level will be disrupt our current local entities that help candidates in local elections, it will create confusion, and even if the new map looks like it will enhance the control by the Democrat party vs the republican; I submit the thought that people will find a way to have their voices heard and this will actually hurt the party that it seems to help in the short term. Working together as a team is better than taking a no holds barred or scorched earth policy that seems to define our current impasses between parties. I respectfully ask those in charge of this new mapping to reconsider the unintended results of their actions.
