We the people, not special interest groups

Vote YES on Proposal 2 on November 6 for the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. Why we need this. Politicians and lobbyists draw voting maps behind closed doors that directly benefit themselves, instead of putting the interests of voters or communities of Michigan first. Our State Senator comes from Midland and does not share our concerns for Line 5 and the damage it will cause us here. We deserve someone who will represent our needs in Lansing.

Proposal 2 is F-I-T for Michigan

FAIR — Voters not lobbyists and politicians will draw election maps that cannot give one party or candidate an unfair advantage. A map that will represent those in that area.

IMPARTIAL — Maps will be drawn through compromise by both major parties and voters who don’t affiliate with either party and must follow strict criteria.

TRANSPARENT — The process will happen in Public Meetings with input from Michiganders, not behind closed doors. Everything used to draw the maps — including data and software — must be published publicly.

This site in Bridge Magazine will tell you just how it will work. Knowledge is important to make good decisions: bridgemi.com/public-sector/heres-how-michigans-redistricting-commission-would-work
