How redistricting impacts your representation in U.S. Congress, state Legislature

Arizona's congressional and legislative boundaries are being
redrawn as part of a process that may seem tedious, but carries
outsize importance to understanding the state's politics for the
next decade.  Arizona is one of the few states that uses an
independent commission, rather than having state lawmakers draw
their own maps. The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission,
as it is known, has two Democrats, two Republicans and one
independent member who sits as the chair of the panel. The
IRC presented a draft of a new map on Oct. 5, to
receive feedback from the public.  In this week's episode
of The Gaggle, an Arizona politics podcast, hosts Yvonne
Wingett Sanchez and Ronald J. Hansen speak with Yurij
Rudensky, a redistricting expert for the Brennan Center's Democracy
Program. Rudensky breaks down how Arizona's redistricting process
compares to other states, and how public input can make a
difference.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
