#183 District

The proposed redistricting map of District 183 resulting in a double-digit percentage point swing will severely impact the rural and suburban areas of the Lehigh Valley by diluting our community of interest in all facets of our lives. We are entitled to appropriate representation in the legislature which aligns with our interests and views. It is unconscionable to virtually extinguish our voice from representation in important governmental decisions. Thus, I implore this committee to retain the same or virtually similar map to keep our community of interest intact and preserve our values which strengthens the commonwealth. Thank you.
