Statement by Representative Will Weatherford Regarding the Passage of Redistricting Maps in the Florida Senate

February 9, 2012 Government No Comments

Tallahassee, Fla. – House Redistricting Chairman Will Weatherford (R-Wesley Chapel) today released the following statement regarding the passage of State House Map SJR1176, Congressional Map SB 1174 and State Senate Map SJR 1176.

“Today marks the completion of the Legislature’s work on the redistricting maps after receiving thousands of suggestions from the public over many months. I appreciate the Senate for their hard work and for passing the maps in a timely manner.  By approving these maps during the fifth week of the regular legislative session, the Florida Legislature is providing ample time for the maps to be approved and given a thorough and careful review.

“There has been no better partner throughout this process than Senate Redistricting Chairman and Senate President-Designate Don Gaetz.  I appreciate his commitment to working with the House and ensure this process was the most transparent and open in Florida’s history.”
