Redistricting: Map A is Best!
Editor,
Map A is Best Choice for Unincorporated Areas!
Since residents in unincorporated areas of Alameda County don’t have Mayors/City Councils, our only local elected representative is our Supervisor.
It’s vital citizens in our unincorporated areas have MORE representation and consideration on the 5 member Board of Supervisors - not less!
Of all unincorporated areas are lumped together (gerrymandered) into one District with just one Supervisor to represent our interests, then our Supervisor’s vote will be negligible – 1 in 5!
Map A is the best choice because it has two Supervisors representing the interests of unincorporated areas.
It would be ideal if there could be a map with three Supervisors (and their staffs) representing the unincorporated areas.
But one Supervisor and his/her staff can’t possibly represent the myriad of problems our highly populated unincorporated areas face.
