Please support the People's Maps
Hello, I live in Bucks County, and for years I have felt I am in a senate district that I have been shoe-horned into. I am in a rural area, but the district I'm in is overwhelmingly lower county high-density. The People's Maps recognize that, and district my community into an area of both similar communities and school districts. In fact, in terms of compact the People's Maps are far superior to the present maps, and in terms of contiguous they are at least as good. In addition, the Senate Districts in the People's Maps have fewer districts carrying over into multiple counties, and more districts (here in Bucks/Montco) that are self-contained within a county. Ultimately, they do a better job at carving out areas of representation, which should be the goal of creating districts... giving voters a fair and equitable opportunity to have a say in their government. hope you will opt to support the citizens of PA when making your recommendations. (I am also supportive of the People's Maps for House Districts... again, they are far better than what we now have.)
