Issue Position: Promoting Fairness

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016

The strong partisan divide in Lansing can be attributed to a foundational flaw in our democratic process: allowing partisan officials to draw their own district borders. In a healthy democracy, voters pick their elected representatives. Gerrymandering turns that on its head by allowing politicians to pick their voters. That's why Jeremy offered a solution to this problem by sponsoring legislation that would create an independent redistricting commission (link is external) to make Michigan politics fair and more responsive to people.
