Retired Public Employees Council of WA Working to protect and enhance the pension and health care benefits of Washington retired state, county and local government employees
The RPEC Redistricting Forum
New district boundaries will determine the balance of power in our state Legislature. Who will represent us will have a huge impact on what the Legislature cares about, including issues like retired public employee pensions and health care costs.
Washington State’s Redistricting Commission is working right now to redesign our state’s Congressional and Legislative District boundaries. Our forum will cover what their redistricting process is (including the updated timeline) as well as the criteria that RPEC has developed to help assess varying redistricting proposals. We’ve attached three resource documents with more background for you. Please note in the FAQ the Commission’s list of its operating criteria.
