Redistricting Maps

Tallahassee, Fla. – Florida House Redistricting
Committee Chairman Will Weatherford (R-Wesley Chapel) today released the
following statement regarding the Florida Supreme Court’s ruling on state
legislative redistricting maps:

“I am pleased the Florida Supreme Court agrees that the
House Redistricting map meets the requirements of Florida’s constitution and is
legally compliant.  The House map is the product of an unprecedented level
of public outreach, committee meetings with members on both sides of the aisle
and a careful and thorough review of our constitutional redistricting
requirements.  Our map prioritizes sound principles over politics and I’m
proud of my colleagues for producing a legally compliant map that accurately
reflects the wishes of residents from around the state.”
