Dear Mayor Sidhu and Anaheim City Council,
As a resident of the City of Anaheim, (address optional), 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,
Adalgisa Tamayo Jones
