Redistricting has been used at times to exclude communities from political power. By participating in and monitoring the upcoming redistricting process, communities have the opportunity to help define their elected representative’s boundaries, elect candidates of their choice, and voice their needs and interests. Nevada’s demographics have greatly changed in the last 10 years, becoming much more diverse. Based on the 2020 Census, Nevada’s total population increased by 15%, which was the fifth largest percent increase in the country. Because district boundaries are drawn every ten years, this process has long-term effects on community representation. Check out the Redistricting Guide for information about how you can participate in the redistricting process.

Nevada is strong because of its diversity, and this needs to be reflected in the redistricting process to ensure Nevadans are accurately represented at the local, state, and federal levels.
Moreover, Nevadans need equitable representation in redistricting because the everyday lives of Nevadans depend on it.
I will do my part to ensure that Nevadans are properly represented during redistricting in 2021.

In 2019, Nevadans Count, a coalition of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, was created to help raise awareness and provide updates about the 2020 Census to Nevadans. Nevadans Count also identified the redistricting process as a key priority. Nevadans Count believes that our democracy works best and its outcomes are most just when the voices of ALL Nevadans are heard.
