Subject: Please approve Map 86566, Santa Ana Goals 2021
Dear Mayor Sarmiento and Santa Ana City Council,
My name is Martin Zambrano, I reside in Sullivan Street and I urge you to select Map 86566 known as the
Santa Ana Goals 2021 Map because it creates fair and equitable wards for all Santa Ana residents. This map
respects the geographical areas of the city and unites communities of interest who seek to be kept together.
This has the most neighborhoods kept together in the same ward with 67 of the 70 Neighborhood Associations
not split between wards. The north Santa Ana neighborhoods are united in one ward and the South Coast Metro
neighborhoods are united in one ward. The middle of the city neighborhoods are mostly united with only a
couple of neighborhoods split to achieve population equity.
This map keeps along the main streets in order to respect neighborhood integrity and avoids using residential
streets as a ward boundary. In addition, it also holds to the spirit of the California Voting Rights Act by creating
a ward where the Vietnamese community is kept together and has the power to continue to elect a representative
of their choice.
There is no map more fair and equitable and truly reflects Santa Ana's diverse neighborhoods. Please approve
Map 86566, Santa Ana Goals 2021.
Sincerely,
Martin Zambrano
