Redistricting Sonoma County


Don’t Let Redistricting
Get Santa Rosa Stuck in Lodi!

The first cut of redistricting maps for a proposed state Senate District carves out Santa Rosa, Cotati, Rohnert Park, and Sebastopol from Sonoma County and joins them in a new district with Lodi, Galt, and Woodland.

The heart of Sonoma County belongs in a blue coastal district, not as an appendage to the Central Valley!

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission has a legal mission to keep intact “communities of interests.” Haven’t they heard we’re united by water, economy, transportation, energy, agriculture, education, local governance and left coast culture?


 PUBLIC HEARING 
at the:
Cowell Theatre
Fort Mason Center
Marina Blvd and Buchanan Street Entrance
San Francisco 
Monday, June 27th from 6 to 9 pm

For more information on speaking at the public hearing go to wedrawthelines@ca.gov. You can also view the draft maps at this site.

Speaking has the greatest impact, but if you can’t attend, please email your comments to voterfirstact@crc.ca.gov

New maps will be released July 12 

– a final decision in August. 
Now is the time to be heard!
