FAIR DISTRICTS FLORIDA

What are leaders saying about redistricting?

“Citizens want their government to make sense, and confusing, gerrymandered districts simply don’t make sense. Creating logical, cohesive voting districts is an important step if we are going to rekindle active and responsible citizenship. It’s the right time for redistricting reform.”

- Martha Haynie, Orange County Comptroller
