Dear Commissioners,

We write to you today to voice our displeasure with the lack of transparency and uniformity in
the new redistricting process thus far, and to urge you again to open up your mapping negotiations to the public so New Yorkers can have their trust in the Commission restored.

When the League supported a Commission-led redistricting structure in 2014, we imagined a
balanced, bipartisan system that would carefully consider the public’s input into proposed maps.

For The People Act is a transformative, comprehensive bill addressing voting rights and election administration, money-in-politics, redistricting government transparency, and ethics.

Many parts of the bill are reforms Common Cause has successfully won at the state and local level, often with bipartisan support. Now, the For the People Act is an opportunity to pass these important reforms at the federal level.
