Hello Anaheim City Councilmembers,
My name is Jason Xaymountry and I am a resident of Anaheim from District 2. Having been
born and raised in Anaheim, I have lived here for the past 18 years and recognize its diverse
and multigenerational community. My home is by Cerritos Ave, around Disneyland.
I am here in support of adjusting Map Proposal 114
I support the 114 map proposal because it advocates for the original 2016 People’s Map and for
the implementation of 3 Latinx CVAPs that would also support low-income, working-class
communities that have a shared need for affordable housing and language access.
However, I want to advocate for a few changes to the 114 map proposal in order for it to fully
represent my community. While we consider the entirety of Anaheim, my community base is
comprised of areas in District 3 and District 2. In consideration of these map proposals, certain
areas in District 3 should be reallocated to District 2 such as making downtown Anaheim part of
District 2. Several people around that area go there so it would make more sense to include it in
district 2.
Adjusting Map Proposal 114 would provide a better representative map that considers the
various communities, neighborhoods, and areas of interest established in and around Anaheim.
These adjustments also re-position Sycamore JHS from District 5 to District 3 to better provide
community resources for the community, an adjustment that has been considered in all of the
other chosen maps by the city council in the past (102, 104, 106).
This proposal is in compliance with the federal Voting Rights Act and was developed in
collaboration with our respective communities to include districts that are equal in size,
contiguous, compact, and respect the city lines as much as possible.
Please support adjusting Map Proposal 114 to include the Sycamore community from District 5
into District 3 while still maintaining the integrity of the created 3 Latinx, low-income, limited
language access CVAPs.
Thank you!
Jason Xaymountry
