Geoffrey Havens Greeley Weld Understanding all of the regulations set forth by the state and federal government must be followed, I would hope to see this process keep Greeley largely intact in a single district with inclusion of Evans and Garden City if feasible. If the city must be split, I would hope to see that process happen along logical lines- ie keep downtown in a single district, splitting the city by a logical main intersection geographically (say 71st Ave as an example), and not dividing up neighborhoods that have diverse populations to weaken the say of those county residents.

Pamela Nichols-Kretzer Hudson Weld I think things need to be left alone. You don’t listen to the people anyway. You allow horse racing in the county that attracts lots of people and now you are allowing Bandimere to come in to the same area do you not realize what this will do to Hudson you allowed a woman’s prison to be built that is closed. I think everyone one of you should be voted out. You don’t care about the people you supposedly represent.
William Adkins Greeley Weld Follow the Colorado law. This looks to be an attempt to Gerrymander the district and can have lasting consequences no matter which party is in control.
Danielle Chavez Greeley Weld Follow Colorado law
Donna Adkins Greeley Weld Why do the county commissioners have so much power? Are they taking away the voters rights to choose their candidate? Voters have the right to choose their own candidate! Stop the gerrymandering
Shirley Smithson Greeley Weld I strongly disagree with redistricting policies that unlawfully support the power of one political party over another, in this case your purposeful actions to have Republican voting wins. A fair, honest and lawful redistricting will balance the input of voting constituencies. As to your obvious bias, you now ask for a watch and review to make sure your actions are in line with the Colorado directives for fair elections.

Kathleen Milligan Greeley CO Because most of the population of Weld County resides in the Greeley area, I urge the Redistricting Advisory Committee to schedule a meeting for listening to public input in Greeley and publicize it adequately. As far as I am aware the committee actually has only two meetings scheduled (according to the Tribune). The Fort Lupton meeting on Monday, June 2, may not have actually occurred. It was neither pubicized nor made clear to those who wanted to attend as to where it would be held. Fourteen people showed up at AIMS Community College on June 2, not knowing that the meeting was held in Ft. Lupton at AIMS. In any case these scheduled meetings do not provide adequate access for input for Greeley residents. The importance of Greeley resident input is especially urgent because these listening sessions are the only opportunity for residents to see the maps and to impact decisions about them. After that, when the Advisory Committee presents the three maps to the Commissioners, there will probably not be opportunity to change them. Please schedule another listening session in the Greeley area. Thank you to the Advisory Committee for all of their work on the maps so far!
Jillaire McMillan Longmont (unincorporated, technically) Weld I live in unincorporated Weld County with a Longmont address. Sometimes it feels like we live a long way from Greeley, the population and political center of the county. When looking at the previous map, it looked like areas of SW Weld County were divided into different districts, diluting the voice of our communities which are united by geography as well as other communities. Mead, Firestone, Frederick, and Erie all belong to the St. Vrain Valley School District and occupy this distant part of the county. We feel united in some ways through the community created by our children's school boundaries. I know that the legal guidance is to keep cities in tact, but since I don't live in a city, it would be nice to have my other boundary-based community (schools--my kids are zoned for and attend Mead schools) taken into consideration. Being as far away from Greeley as we are, it would be nice to feel like those of us in SW Weld County are united in our political power by being in one commissioner district together.
