STATEHOUSE (August 3, 2021) – State Reps. Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown), Bob Cherry (R-Greenfield) and Tony Cook (R-Cicero) invite constituents to weigh in on Indiana's redistricting process during upcoming public meetings.
"The upcoming redistricting meetings are simply step one in what will be a very public and open process," said Rep. Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown). "We're looking forward to hearing from Hoosiers around the state during these meetings."
"We're looking forward to using public input throughout the redistricting process," said Rep. Bob Cherry (R-Greenfield), who sits on the Elections and Appointment committee. "These public meetings are a vital first step in that endeavor."
"Input from our local communities is important as we move forward with redistricting," said State Rep. Tony Cook (R-Cicero). "I hope everyone from our area will participate in the conversation by sharing their thoughts at an upcoming meeting or submitting their own map for consideration."
Indiana is required to redraw its districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, the Indiana House of Representatives and Indiana Senate following the nationwide census every 10 years. Before legislators are expected to return to the Statehouse in mid-to-late September to redraw the district boundaries, public meetings will be held in each of Indiana's nine congressional districts.
The legislators said while Hoosiers can attend any of the nine public meetings in early August, the following are located nearest to Madison County:
