League President’s Testimony on Redistricting

Block Club Chicago quoted part of LWV Chicago President Anne Jamieson’s testimony before the City Council’s Rules Committee in its recent article about the redistricting process.

“Anne Jamieson, president of the League of Women Voters of Chicago, said the city’s remapping process has been conducted with ‘no transparency for the people of Chicago who will be greatly affected by the new ward map. I’m worried that the City Council can’t convince the public that the mayor and the Council are departing from Chicago’s long history of behind the scenes gerrymandering of districts,’” the news outlet wrote.
