A good map around the Tri-cities/Flint area.
katie Zanotti
Great map for district 11. This map keeps our communities of interest together in the Saginaw, Bay, Flint area.
GLORIA WOODS
Map 233 is a very good map for our CD. It keeps the Tri-Cities/Flint COI together, includes Bay, Saginaw and Genesee counties intact and keeps most of Midland county also, while moving Tuscola county into a District that better fits its needs. It's so good to see you continuing to work for fairness and putting that and COIs first. Thank you!
John Michael Elsen
This map does not consider what is best for Midland. We are a community that looks to the North and West for development. We have an historical legacy with Bay City and Saginaw, but nothing with Flint. We must consider the environment and ESG of our community with the people to the North and West.
Marie Fox
This is the best congressional map I have seen for our area. It respects the Mid-Michigan COI of the Tri-Cities and Flint, places Tuscola County in District 10 where it belongs, kept 3 counties whole (Bay, Saginaw, Genesee) and included most of Midland County as well. This is a great job. Please continue to make partisan fairness a priority and make sure the maps reflect the 53% Dem and 47% Republican vote share of the state.
Brendon Mark Baranek
I like this map very much, specifically District 11. The Mid-Michigan COI of Tri-Cities including Flint makes perfect sense. In respects to known partisan vote share, this map is spot on. Thank you.
Cindy Weir
Hooray.... A great map for our area! Best so far! I like that it includes the Tri-Cities and Flint and places Tuscola County in District 10 where it belongs. It also keeps 3 counties whole (Bay, Saginaw, Genesee) and included most of Midland County as well. This is a great job. Please continue to make partisan fairness a priority and make sure the maps reflect the 53% Dem and 47% Republican vote share of the state.

Catherine Mitzel
Thank you commision for placing Mid-Michigan together in this map. I support having more of Midland County included with all of Bay County, Saginaw County and Genesee County. Having lived here for many years, I have experienced how we share so many business, cultural and environmental interests. This map shows your due diligence to weigh partican fairness. We need maps with as close to zero political bias as possible.
Carol Heron
This map is good too. It keeps the Tri-Cities together while including more of their counties. Tuscola is with District 10 as it should be. Thank you for this map and keeping Bay, Saginaw and Genesee together while including Midland.
Christine Kosmowski
This map is an improvement for the Battle Creek area because it is drawn in with the Kalamazoo area. However, I would prefer more of the I-94 corridor communities in Calhoun County be included.
Marie Johansen
Map 237. District 11- I would definitely support this map. You have done an excellent job in designing this map to keep the economic and urban areas of Midland, Bay City, Saginaw and Flint together. As they are aligned to reflect the mix of citizens in District 11- including minority, working and professional. This is great and I think you have designed a map that seems very unbiased but representative of the people who live in the Mid-MI areas. This appears to be a very similar district design as Map 237 regarding District 11. Thank you.
Allison M Wilcox
This is a best map that I have seen for district 11. Keeping three counties whole (Bay, Saginaw, and Genesee) and adding most of Midland county makes perfect sense. This map gets an A+ from me.
Angie Kelleher
This is the best congressional map I have seen for our area. It respects the Mid-Michigan COI of the Tri-Cities and Flint, places Tuscola County in District 10 where it belongs, kept 3 counties whole (Bay, Saginaw, Genesee) and included most of Midland County as well. This is a great job. Please continue to make partisan fairness a priority and make sure the maps reflect the 53% Dem and 47% Republican vote share of the state
Jim Morrissey
Wow! This map is fantastic. The Tri-Cities and Flint are together so the economic cooridor of MidMichigan is in tact. The minority voice of Flint and Saginaw will be stronger and the counties have been kept relatively whole. Good Job!!!
Molly Morrissey
his is by far the best map that I have seen for our area. It keeps the Tri-Cities and Flint together as COIs and it keeps counties together too.
Craig Austin
Good map with the Tri-Cities (Midland, Bay City, Saginaw) and Flint in a congressional district. I like the larger portion of Midland County included. This is good for the common employment interests of the region and the employees that work and live in this district. I applaud partisan fairness to help fix this countries extremist hold with gerrymandered districts. I think the improved balance will create and support moderate Politian's and prevent them from being held hostage by extreme bases.
Linda Pell
I support this map. It recognizes the decades long synergies that both the public and private sectors have built along I-94 to strengthen the economy, health, education and environment in this region.
Stefanie Sedlar
Gratiot County and Isabella Counties share an RESD. Please do not split them across 2 different Congressional Districts.
B.A.
Carving out Rochester and Rochester Hills into Macomb and removing it from Oakland County is not a smart way to redraw the Congressional lines for this community. Keeping school districts, and cities within the same county when looking at Representation at a federal level should be given more consideration.
Dan Wholihan
This one isn't bad. I like that Livingston County is kept whole, in a swing district, and not with Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. Lyndon Twp is with Washtenaw as well. District 6 is better with no "robot arm" going to SE Oakland County. The 11th is better with more than just some "carve out" of Midland City without at least part of the Eastern Townships. I have mixed views about Kent-Muskegon, but there's arguments both ways for that and I don't have a dog in that battle.
Heather Hunnell
I like that this map doesn't split any townships in Western Washtenaw. Thank you for listening to the comments that NW Washtenaw does not belong in a Border County congressional district. I did see a few public comments in the portal suggesting that Manchester did want to be in a Border County district, so thank you for listening to those. If SW Washtenaw voters feel that they belong in that district, then I hope it is what will be adopted.
Tom Heck
I prefer the ;ater proposal that does not include all of Berrien County - this proposal breaks up too many counties in District 8
Barbara Karenko
Thank you for this district. The I-96 corridor is a great COI. Grand Rapids fits well with Muskegon.
Lisa Kulawczyk-Pringle
I like the West Borders of District 1. It keeps the Livernois corridor together. Also maintains Detroit's voting block in most areas.
Ryan D Bennett
I like the idea of an I-96 corridor district from Muskegon to Grand Rapids.
C. Michelle Balhorn
Thank you for keeping Lyndon Township in a single CD.
Pam Byrnes
I appreciate this latest version of District 7 as it restores Lyndon Township in its entirety along with the rest of Washtenaw County
John
Split Southfield Township from Southfield City. The Township (and components Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Franklin) have more in common with Birmingham than with Southfield, so should stay there.
Angelo D Guarnieri
Not a fan of this version. It puts the areas I want to move to next year into Rashida Tliab's domain and the thought of having an anti-Semite as my Representative in Congress makes me want to die.
Luke Dornon
This maintains better continuity, but still looks a lot like gerrymandering together GR and Muskegon regardless of the areas between.
Daniel Grams
Again, this map is drawn to give partisan advantage to Democrats in the metro-Detroit area. Macomb County is large enough to be its own congressional district. Dividing South Lyon from Oakland County is done specifically to dilute Republican votes in Oakland County...and District 10 is being drawn as a Republican vote sink. How about drawing a map with 3 competitive districts in 3,6, and 10...one that leans R, one that leans D, and one that is even. Also, if the commission is serious about giving the public alternatives, why not propose an alternative map that draws the thumb into a district that is centered around Bay City or Flint. Why does the thumb have to be drawn down into the Metro Detroit? I know why....because you are trying to benefit the Democrats the Flint area. It's a bad map from a very non-independent commissioner.
Jeremy Fisher
This is great as it keeps Warren with the rest of Macomb. Warren is the heart of Macomb. We are its largest city, the third largest in the state. We are also the heart of Macomb's auto industry and its defense industry. Please use this as a template for Macomb.
Jennifer Austin
I like this map a lot! It puts Tuscola with the Thumb as it should be and puts more of Midland County in the Tri-Cities+Flint district! Thank you! This is excellent. keep up the good work and put partisan fairness at the forefront of the discussion. We need fair maps for Michigan and personal interest has to take a back seat.
Jack Bengtsson
This appears to be a slightly tweaked duplicate of map #188. The comments I made on 188 still stand. This map is acceptable with some minor adjustments. However, you might consider another option, one that is simpler, yet fair. https://davesredistricting.org/join/26901765-7806-42a3-b87c-e23285970955
Robert Wolfer
I see so many problems with this map, it will just save me more time to write my general comment here. 1.) If there are so many counties that are not solely located in one Congressional District, you probably have not done this right.
2.) District 8, is an abomination as it groups together people from very distinct communities that have different interests. Someone in New Buffalo is not going to have the same day-to-day concerns as someone from Hillsdale, and neither will have similar interests to someone from Monroe. How is anyone elected member of Congress supposed to fairly represent all the interests of people in these communities?
3.) Great care is also being taken to cram as many population centers in to single districts as possible (Muskegon and Grand Rapids; Battle Creek and Kalamazoo; Flint and the Tri-cities). At best, this is simply gerrymandering. At worst, it is a violation of the federal VRA, as it "packs" minority populations together in the same district, thus marginalizing the voice of these very distinct communities.
This map has a very long way to go.
Alexander McKay
I think this is great overall, but perhaps it would be beneficial to place the Washtenaw Townships around Manchester (or the area of the Manchester School District) with the 8th district while carving out the area south of Milan that is within Milan schools to be in the 7th.
Deborah K Benz
Grand Rapids and Kent County have a strong connection. Kent County has a large population of 657, 974 residents (2020 census). Map 233 breaks up the natural bond between Grand Rapids and Kent County, to instead connect Grand Rapids to the Lake Michigan shoreline counties. In so doing, Ottawa County has to be chopped up between 3 different districts. Why would that be done? Kent County has nearly enough residents to form its own district. Please eliminate Map 233 and keep both Kent County and Ottawa County intact.
Yousif
I like Troy with District 6. Is this possible to make and still make it VRA Mr. Eid? I still need to take a look at the partisan advantage. Hope this is more competitive.
Dana Fortier
Rethink where you have Novi.
