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?
