Dear Mayor Sidhu and Anaheim City Council,
As a resident of the City of Anaheim, 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,
Ana Butler
