Redistricting Town Hall

Have you ever wondered how political districts are drawn?
 
Are you curious to learn more about the far-reaching effect redistricting has on our electoral process?
 
Please join me at an upcoming town hall featuring former Congressman Mark Schauer and election law expert Mark Brewer of Goodman Acker P.C. to discuss redistricting, gerrymandering and proposals that would lead to the creation of fairer political boundaries in Michigan.
 
It’s wrong that those in power get to draw their own districts, select their own voters, and determine a winner or loser before an election even takes place. This is not how democracy was intended to work. 
 
Now we must work to ensure a fairer system for all and to give you a more meaningful voice in selecting your representatives. I encourage you to join in the discussion and learn more about how this process can impact you and your rights. 
 
WHO:           State Rep. Robert Wittenberg (D-Oak Park), former Congressman Mark Schauer and election law expert Mark Brewer of Goodman Acker P.C. 
 
WHERE:       Berkley High School Collaborative Center
                    2325 Catalpa Drive, Berkley, MI 48072
 
WHEN:         Wednesday, Aug. 12 – doors open at 6:30 p.m., presentation begins at 7 p.m.
 
The event is free and open to the public. I hope to see you there!
 
Robert Wittenberg
