Pa. lawmakers need to support bringing an end to gerrymandering | Letter
Updated Mar 10, 2021;
As presented in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Memorandum, The Legislative and Congressional Redistricting Act ( LACRA or HB 22) “introduces greater transparency into both redistricting processes and establishes clear, measurable map-drawing criteria designed to prevent extreme gerrymandering and promote accountability to voters.”
This bill has bipartisan support and is currently waiting for the Pennsylvania Government Committee, chaired by state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh/Berks, to bring it to the next step in the legislative process.
Regardless of party, a majority of Pennsylvania voters support government transparency and accountability. HB 22 promotes good government and that makes good sense.
