<br />15 November 2021 <br /> <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Daisy Gomez <br />Clerk of the Council <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br /> <br />RE: Redistricting Maps Currently Proposed <br /> <br />To: Clerk of the Council <br /> Mayor <br /> Council Members <br /> <br />Upon review of the currently submitted / proposed maps for Santa Ana’s 6 wards, <br />I find none of these proposed maps to be acceptable. The deficiencies are too <br />numerous to list in this email. <br /> <br />On the surface the maps received seem to ignore the history of our wards and <br />how they in the past closely supported boundaries with solid data based on the <br />demographics for these wards. <br /> <br />I propose that we step back from what has been proposed and draft completely <br />new maps. Several ward maps that were used in the 2020 elections resembled <br />the same lack of consistency with the demographics and ward history. <br /> <br />We can improve our current boundaries with the new Census data, let’s take the <br />time to do it right. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Mark McLoughlin <br />
