Fair Districts Mapping Competition
Advisory Committee
Members of the twelve-person Advisory Committee were responsible for choosing winners from among the submitted maps. The Advisory Committee was composed of a mix of advocates, academics, members of the media, and issue area experts from across the political spectrum. None of the Advisory Committee members currently served in elected office. Each was carefully selected to achieve a nonpartisan review of all map submissions.
