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,
Barb Standley
