City councilmembers started developing this map after hearing concerns from residents during council and community meetings over the last several months.
) -Back in February, Mayor Sandy Stimpson first introduced his redistricting proposal which would increase the percentage of black voters in District 7 to about 51% which some argued wasn’t enough to give voters the chance to elect a candidate of their choosing.
Since then, a coalition of community groups introduced their own map which would increase that percentage to 53%. Now city council members William Carroll, Ben Reynolds and Cory Penn have introduced their own map. District 1 City Councilman Cory Penn says they started developing this map after hearing concerns from residents during council and community meetings over the last several months.
