Oregon Republicans urge transparent, nonpartisan approach to redistricting
Once-a-decade requirement redraws House, Senate district boundaries
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) Republican members of the Oregon Legislature s redistricting committees said Monday they are strongly advocating for a transparent and nonpartisan approach to redistricting, the once-a-decade requirement to redraw district boundaries.
Republican lawmakers are asking the Democratic leaders to honor the spirit and intent of the law in the committees’ approach to redistricting, and to commit to a transparent process that allows members of the public and historically marginalized communities a fair opportunity to provide their input. The redrawing our state’s political boundaries is one of the most important duties the Legislature has,” said Rep. Shelly Boshart Davis (R-Albany), who serves as vice-chair of the House Special Committee on Redistricting.
