Republicans Urge Bipartisan Redistricting

Redistricting is something that is heavily talked about and with the census, redistricting will be done soon. State Representative Avery Bourne and other Republicans including US Representative Rodney Davis held a press conference urging Governor JB Pritzker to have a nonpolitical group do the redistricting.


 

Representative Bourne wants an independent group to set the redistricting. State Representative Tim Butler says that this is something the citizens of Illinois want.

 

 

Over 500,000 Illinoisans asked for the question to be put on the ballot, but it never happened. US Representative Rodney Davis says that his district that he’s in was put together to elect a Democrat and Representative Davis had to work hard to overcome it.

 

 

Representative Bourne says that another good example of this is the Village of Stonington which has the line split down the middle.
