Sen. Schimpf says voters should decide who determines district maps

By Hollie Ferguson | 5 years ago

Sen. Paul Schimpf (R-Waterloo) said that voters should be able to choose who draws the lines for redistricting in their communities, and will be able to do so via the SJRCA 4 bill, which allows for a non-partisan redistricting plan that would allow constituents to chose who draws maps and weigh in on the outcome.
