Hello Arapahoe Dems,
Tomorrow evening (Monday, August 8) is a very important public hearing for Aurora and is being held by the Colorado Reapportionment Commission at Community College of Aurora. The Reapportionment Commission will be hearing testimony from Arapahoe County citizens as to our great concerns regarding the preliminary approved HD legislative maps. The HD maps, as preliminarily approved, do great injustice by ignoring the important social, economic and educational ties existing in many long-standing communities. These maps, which are identical to those proposed by the Republican party, are hyper-partisan and exist for the primary purpose of perpetuating Republican control in the State House.
We also want to voice our support for the preliminarily approved Senate legislative maps. Unlike the HD maps, the Senate maps preliminarily-approved maintain important communities of interest and provide for much more competitive races.
We are asking you to come out Monday August 8 and voice your concern about this injustice being done to the citizens of Arapahoe County. Here is the event information:
The second public hearing will be held in Littleton next Tuesday for the purpose of gathering testimony for issues related to the western part of the county. Here is the information for that hearing:
