Dear Mayor Sidhu and Anaheim City Council,
As a resident of the City of Anaheim at Anaheim CA 92804, , I ask you to please
approve Map 114, Anaheim Now, as the new district map for the city of Anaheim for the next decade.
Map 114 is the true successor to the original People's Map and keeps the original vision we sought
for Anaheim 6 years ago. Keeps communities of interest and neighborhoods intact. Unites the Colony
in one district and keeps it with other historic neighborhoods and keeps greater Little Arabia united.
Map 114 respects neighborhood boundaries and is not gerrymandered, keeping district boundaries
along main streets and thoroughfares and following basic redistricting principles.This map creates 3
Federal Voting Rights Section 2 districts for the growing Latino population in the central part of the
city. Map 114 truly continues the spirit of the original People's Map but is modernized to adjust for
changes in the 2020 census while allowing for the change that is needed without drastically altering
what is already a fair map. Other maps either pack Latino voters into only one district or attempt to
crack them to limit their ability to elect representatives of their choice while other maps do create three
majority seats but divide neighborhoods or communities of interest in the process. It is important that
the Council approve a map that follows the original intent of the Federal and California Voting Rights
Act while respecting neighborhood integrity. We ask you to please approve Map 114, Anaheim Now.
Sincerely,
Antonia De Los Reyes
