The IRC is now required to receive public input for 30 days on the draft maps.

F3 is concerned that these maps to not respect Flagstaff and its surrounding areas as a “community of interest.”

The first public hearing will be a virtual town hall on Saturday, November 6 starting at 10:00 am. Click here to register to speak in advance (note: you must pre-register by 9 am on Nov. 6). Your comments will be limited to 3 minutes.

You may also choose to provide written comments to the IRC. Comments can be submitted here.

Talking points:
1) The IRC’s draft Legislative map separates Flagstaff from like communities of interest including Kachina, Mountainaire,  Sedona and the Verde Valley.

F3 and the City of Flagstaff support the Legislative map submitted to the IRC by Coconino County Board of Supervisors on October 27th. Reference to this map in your comments would be valuable. The County’s map can be viewed here by clicking on the word “map” at the bottom of the page.

2) The IRC’s draft Congressional map groups Flagstaff with Prescott and results in a non-competitive district.

The town hall will be streamed live here:https://youtu.be/bzuz9cRSGsM. Just the one public hearing is scheduled as of today, but more are expected. You can find information about additional IRC meetings here.
