Back to Pine Top --- -- On behalf of 17K members of San Carols Apache Tribe - submits letter - LD 6 and Cd 2 in current drafts - any proposal that fractionates the Am Indian population will dilute their voice.. Imperative to maintain a robust Am Indian opportunity district.

Lisa Greene - Lakeside - 2020 candidate was not able to be elected in LD 7 - current lD 7 is not a competitive district - current representative does not engage with us, come to see us or listen to us. In July we asked for a more competitive district.
I support the current proposed maps. I don't feel like I have representation.

Current draft CD 2 map dilutes our voice and concerns me as a tribal member. It takes competitive distort and makes it a safe Republican district. If Republicans have a safe district and don't have to work for every vote.

Walks thorough the districts -- these maps, if enacted are likely to ensure Republicans will always have a majority. Pop deviation is acceptable
Trey Terry - SW valley - five High schools were split in 4 districts - water and transportation are not partisan - our interests (Maricopa) are conflicted w/ Yuma and rural communities.
from Ballotpedia: Terry (Republican Party) ran for election to the Arizona House of Representatives to represent District 13. He lost in the Republican primary on August 28, 2018.
Stand for Children - West Valley deserves more than one voice in Congress which will help us secure federal funding.
Keep Avondale and Goodyear united. Keep VRA in the forefront - we are more than a community of interest.
