1 San Joaquin County Citizens for Constitutional Redistricting Ending the Gerrymanders of San Joaquin County 1

2 San Joaquin County Citizens for Constitutional Redistricting Current Assembly, State Senate and Congressional Districts: 2

3 San Joaquin County Citizens for Constitutional Redistricting Our Approach Need to end 10 years of severe gerrymandering Focused on proposed districts for San Joaquin County Recognize districts must fit into statewide map Drew test districts for surrounding options to ensure “fit” with equal population, Voting Rights, City/County integrity, and other Commission criteria 3

4 San Joaquin County Citizens for Constitutional Redistricting Assembly Allows two ADs completely in Sacramento County, plus portions of two more (including A2). Coastal region: Contra Costa is “bridge” to Central Valley. No other counties split from Santa Barbara County to Oregon. Latino voting strength in AD 17 increases and the district can be more compact with territory only in Merced and Stanislaus counties. AD 17 loses ‘neck’ into San Joaquin County. Remainder of Stanislaus combines with Amador / Calaveras / Tuolumne counties. A1 and A2 combine into one “nested” Senate district. Moving A2 out of Sacramento County would require splitting Pittsburg. 4

6 San Joaquin County Citizens for Constitutional Redistricting Congress 6 Allows two ADs completely in Sacramento County, plus small portion of one more. Coastal region: Contra Costa is again “bridge” to Central Valley. No other counties split from San Luis Obispo County to Oregon. Stanislaus is also unsplit, as it is combined in a district with Mono to Amador counties. No “Stockton Finger” is needed. Another district is made by combining Merced County, southwestern Madera County, and south Fresno (city & county). Latino voting strength in this district increases notably. Current CD 20 is much more compact (and keeps Kings Co.) and increases Latino voting strength.
