Under more normal circumstances, state Senate Republican Leader John Braun would not be in his south Chehalis office midmorning on a weekday. He would have already made himself a quick breakfast in his Centralia home, stopped by his family company, Braun Northwest, and made the drive to the state Capitol. But with the current session being held remotely, Braun spends more time in his home district, out of what he calls the “bubble” of Olympia.

Do you have questions about how the process of redrawing electoral districts works? The League of Women Voters of Clark County and Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries will host a free, virtual workshop explaining the work of the Washington State Redistricting Commission.
The 90-minute session will feature information about how the redistricting process will impact residents in Southwest Washington and how the public can participate.
Redistricting occurs once every 10 years to reflect updated population counts following the U.S. Census. The last redraw certified in 2011 changed the political makeup of Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, extending the boundary to the east into rural Klickitat County and eliminating some of Thurston County to the north.
Bill would establish new deadline for the submission of redistricting plans washingtonstatewire.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from washingtonstatewire.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
