Map is not VRA compliant & shows a partisan bias.
Brenda Grace Shufelt
Does not give enough opportunity Black representation in Detroit area. More partisan than the present redistricting map.
Ryan Reese
Map is not VRA complaint. The use of the hard boundary at 8 mile does not reflect demographic shifts of the last several decades. Only 10 Opportunity districts demonstrates VRA lack of compliance. The packing is obvious in districts adjacent to the proposed Gross Point waterfront district.
lori A Boyce
This map does not appear to be VRA compliant. Also, it is very unfair from a partisan perspective. Further splitting a small township like Royal Oak Township in half certainly disinfranchises those voters that likely would have little representation even if not split up due to small size. Warren looks really chopped up. My COI is already split into 3 districts - i can't imagine a COI being split into 5 districts.
Nomi Joyrich
This map does not have enough Black Opportunity Districts
Nomi Joyrich
This map has no partisan fairness.
Joe Hunt
District 10 is out of context on fair representation and compactness. Aside from 10, the rest is alright
Ali El-Ali
This district extends so far south it very nearly inherits the old district boundaries the plaintiffs sued over. Moreover, it does a poor job of representing the COIs I have observed firsthand in Warren the nearly three decades I have lived here in the city. It's no secret that northern Warren consistently has tremendously higher voter participation and turnout compared to southern Warren. And it's no coincidence that Warren's racially gerrymandered city council districts also run from 8 Mile to 14 Mile, and that their present configuration makes it very difficult for black and minority COIs to elect candidates of choice. So the commission should throw out this map and select one with a district that reflects the COI present on both sides of 8 Mile in Warren and Detroit.
Additionally, the map in general is likely *not* VRA compliant as it creates too few opportunity districts and risks being thrown out by the court in favor of maps not drawn by the commission.

I do not like that this map splits up the neighborhood of Cornerstone Village. East English Village, Morningside, and Cornerstone Village are all part of one community along the E. Warren corridor.
Sydney LaDuke
I like that this proposed map keeps my neighborhood of East English Village (Cadieux --> E. Outer Drive/Whittier and Mack --> Harper) intact.
Kyle Stefanski
I have been a lifelong resident of Warren, and I do not believe this is a good representation of southern Warren's COI. You need to cross the 8 mile line in order to have a Voting Rights Act compliant map. This map separates the COI's of south Warren and north Detroit. It reinstates racial gerrymandering in our community. I urge you to consider the Motown Sound map in your final decision.
Angelo D. Guarnieri
I like any of these maps that put Allen Park, Melvindale and Northern Southgate together given the shared student populations of the cities (especially Mel-NAP). Having to only deal with one State Rep that won't return your emails or calls will feel like less of a waste of my time.
Jan F Sullivan
Since District 13 is not part of the lawsuit or Federal court order, there is no reason to change it and instill more confusion on the voters.
Barbara Krabbenbos
I am opposed to all of these maps that split Livonia into 3 districts. Livonia should be all in one district for me to believe that my vote will be fairly represented.
Kevin Higgins
Sorry for the previous comment...I was on the wrong map.
I do not like this map!
My first house was in Harper Woods and I think that Harper Woods and Grosse Pte belong together.
As a Realtor for 22 years I know many home buyers look to buy a home in Harper Woods with the Grosse Pointe School system. Don't like this map!
George Higgins
This district's configuration ingores the long shared histories of Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods. My family is from Grosse Pointe and the first house my father bought was in Harper Woods and that was a very natural progression for many people in Grosse Pointe. The two communities even share a school district. As a real estate agent, I have worked with many buyers who were seeking Grosse Pointe Schools and naturally gravitated towards Harper Woods where homes can be found in that school distirct just a tiny bit cheaper. Splitting Harper Woods from Grosse Pointe would reinforce exisiting classism in our society and that should not be reflected in the maps you draw.
George Higgins
There is a large COI in southern Warren and northern Detroit that crosses 8 Mile. This map ignores that community which Spirit of Detroit and Motown Sound does a better job of representing. I am from Warren and lived there for 27 years and believe this map does a poor job of reflecting COIs in the city compared to other maps.
Kevin Higgins
I've seen lots of maps during this time. This one gets it right on many levels. No map will be perfect but this one is pretty darn good. We need to get a map established ASAP, lets get this done!
Vanida Hang
This map prioritizes the integrity of Warren as Michigan's 3rd largest city while ensuring that communities of interest remain united. Among all options, this map stands out as the most balanced and fair. Considering that House District 13 was not subject to the lawsuit, preserving it in its current form is important.
Lori Stone
Warren is the third largest city in Michigan, this maps creates districts that provide adequate representation for the community.
Mary Boyd
This district cuts my neighborhood in half. McDougall Hunt extends up to 94. We have many community organizations which work together from 94 south to Vernor and we want to share a representative. This is bending over backwards to not cut the airport in half.
Mary Boyd
Royal Oak Township, Oak Park, and north Detroit are a COI. To split Royal Oak Township, such a small location, in half looks like intentional disenfranchisement.
Mary Boyd
This feels like gerrymandering of old to try and connect Lake Orion and Bloomfield Hills.
Cheryl Rottmann
This map aligns with our community and communities of interest.
Jeremy Singer
I don't support the way contiguous communities are divided here. I made a mistake with my earlier comment, I mixed up the maps. please disregard my prior comment.
Jeremy Singer
I support this map! I think it's great it was drawn by a Detroiter and creates many minority opportunity districts.
Kristine McLonis
I’m glad to see that Huntington Woods and almost all of Oak Park are in the same proposed district in this map. They comprise a community of interest due to the sizeable Jewish population in each city.
Unlike most of the other proposed maps, the district in which Ferndale is placed doesn’t extend at all below the 8 Mile border. That disappoints me; but I do believe that Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Hazel Park, and Madison Heights (most of which is in the same proposed district) comprise a community of interest.
JACK R BENGTSSON
I've looked at all the maps pretty closely, as I have throughout the whole process, but I'm only going to comment on this one. As I'm not from the Detroit area, I can't get into all the various COI's that may exist in that area, or whether they are all in the district that some would like them to be. What I can say about that is, you're never going to come up with a plan that pleases everyone. But, from an overall perspective, I think this map is the cleanest and best map of the bunch, by far, in some cases. There are a couple others (Willow for example) that might be acceptable, but this one accomplishes the goal without splitting up too many jurisdictions unnecessarily. It keeps Harper Woods intact, it keeps Eastpointe intact, it doesn't split Warren into five separate districts, it adds Ecorse to the mix as it should. Some will say that jurisdictions don't matter, but whether some like to admit it or not, jurisdictions are, by definition, communities of interest, perhaps, in more of a general sense as opposed to neighborhoods for example, but COI's nonetheless. In any case, if I were on that commission, I would give very serious consideration to this map as the solution to the problem, assuming that it also does a reasonable job of maintaining partisan fairness statewide, which I will assume that it does.
Vivian M Sawicki
This map does not keep the long-standing COI between Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods and Shores, and St. Clair Shores. Those communities share the Milk River InterCounty Drain District and a pump station (waste processing) and Board representatives. So we all have the same water and environmental issues. We all have the same flooding issues we are trying to resolve. Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods share public services, including mutual fire and police aid and animal control. Harper Woods is part of the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce. This map disregards that long-standing and traditional COI and would disrupt our joint efforts in representation
Daniel Aubrey
I do agree with the proposal of district 13 as Northeast Warren has more association and concerns & communities of interest with eastern Warren and northern Roseville.
Christopher Gilmer Hill
This map is still ignoring COIs in the 8-mile area, especially African-American COIs. Royal Oak township belongs with Oak Park and Detroit, but this map splits it and puts it with totally disparate parts of Oakland like Madison Heights and Birmingham.
Robert Dindoffer
This configuration of District 10 is my preference with one caveat. While I am fine--from my perspective--with including a portion of the Cornerstone neighborhood of Detroit, I am concerned that this splits-up a COI that includes three Detroit Neighborhoods, Cornerstone, East English Village, and Morningside. One reason that I am concerned about this is that the prior District 10 configuration, with the Grosse Pointes and Detroit Riverfront was struck down by the Courts
