Memorandum
Date: September 28, 2021
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Bruno Sabatier, Chair and District 2 Supervisor
Subject: Adopt New Resolution Urging the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to Rejoin All of Lake County With Neighboring Contiguous Counties of Napa and Sonoma Within the Same United States Congressional District
Executive Summary:
As your Board is aware, United States Congressional Districts are revisited every ten years following the decennial Census Process. In California, as a result of 2010’s Proposition 20, the Congressional Redistricting Initiative, responsibility for establishing new Congressional Districts rests with the California Citizens Redistricting Commission.
Geographical proximity and common interests bind Lake, Napa and Mendocino Counties, and we have long and effectively shared common Congressional representation.
The Resolution attached for your consideration urges the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to rejoin all of Lake County to neighboring contiguous counties Napa and Sonoma within the same United States Congressional District. In addition, the resolution requests that Lake County remain in the same State Senator and Assembly districts.
