ATLANTA – State Representative Bonnie Rich (R-Suwanee) today released a proposed district map for the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. Rep. Rich released the following statement on the proposed map:
“After sharing this proposal with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Hendrickson, I am releasing this updated map that equalizes population, recognizes population shifts and complies with the Voting Rights Act. This map also adheres to traditional redistricting principles of compactness, including keeping communities of interest together and not pairing incumbents in the same district. Also, in keeping with Gwinnett’s diverse population, four of the four districts are majority nonwhite. There is zero partisan gerrymandering reflected in this proposal, which seeks to comply with all aspects of the laws of redistricting.”
*Editor’s Note: The proposed district map for the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is attached.
Representative Bonnie Rich represents the citizens of District 97, which includes portions of Gwinnett County. She was elected to the House of Representatives in 2018 and currently serves as the Majority Caucus Chairman. She also serves on the Special Committee on Access to the Civil Justice System and the Special Committee on Election Integrity, as well as the Rules, Education, Ethics, Judiciary, Legislative & Congressional Reapportionment, Retirement and Ways & Means committees.
