HD-168 Gerrymander
As a resident of Upper Providence Township, I find the new gerrymandered maps to be unfair and partisan. To split the Rose Tree Media School District and divide so many areas of the Media zip code is not in our community's best interest. Rep. Quinn's previous 168th District was extremely competitive. President Biden and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton both won the district, yet Republicans Senator Toomey and Rep. Quinn have also won the district. It is also important to note that the last two state house elections have come down to 450 and 800 vote margins. The new district would allow Democrats to go from a 10 point advantage in voter registration, to 23-point advantage! I urge Governor Wolf and those members of the Pennsylvania legislature to heed the words of President Biden, who shortly after the election, stated that he sought "not to divide, but to unify". I call on those supporting the gerrymander to have the moral and ethical courage and fortitude to not put party above the people and to allow fairness and transparency to rule our electoral process. Please keep our communities and school districts whole in the name of bipartisanship and allow all of our voices to be heard.
