Please enter your comments below What is your name? do you reside in? As a coauthor and co-organizer of the ballot initiative to create the Citizens Independent Redistricting Commission, I’d like to comment on the role of the chairperson as the defender and arbiter of fairness. I happen to be a Democrat, but my two original partners in this project were a Republican (Glendale Councilperson Bart Turner, then executive director of the Valley Citizens League) and an independent (the late Ann Eschinger, then Arizona president of the League of Women Voters). We took wisdom from great lawyers and jurists from both sides of the political aisle and from wise consultants, shepherded by Cheryl Kulas. Included were members of the Arizona Legislature of both parties, including the staff of the Legislative Council. Our prime intent was to improve the competitiveness of political districts in Arizona, but to do so in ways that did not simply create a new design for gerrymandering that would deprive communities of a sense of fair and natural representation and would make it harder for candidates and elected leaders to travel easily to meet with voters and constituents. Communities, after all, are different from individuals. We wanted to respect both, while leaning toward competitiveness wherever possible. Communities and society will always be changing, so we did not define some terms that you will wish we had. What is a “community of interest,” for example? The economy, the way we communicate, the issues we care about, the connection and disconnection between where we live and what we do for a living, have all changed remarkably since we drafted the amendment. Therefore, the definitions must also change with the times. Your only compass is fairness so that, for everyone, government might feel more like something we do together, not something apart from us that we suffer. The chair of your commission has to be a tough character and has to love democracy and the people of Arizona more than the pull and push of personal political preference. Many Arizonans have worked hard to give you the tools you have before you today. One of the great Arizonans whose wisdom could always help guide your deliberations is not available to you this time; the great Arizona demographer and cartographer, Tony Sissons, passed from us in 2020, and we mourn his loss. He was an Arizonan before any political interest, as is his widow, Eddie. Republicans on your commission might think the creation of the program was a Democratic party accomplishment. That is simply not the case. It is true that we recruited the amazing Jim Pederson to lead us, because we needed an executive of great skill. Jim did not do that as a Democrat, but rather as an Arizonan, and he also made a great financial contribution to the effort as time went along, even though he dearly wished the wording could better serve his party. I thank you sincerely for the time you are donating and will donate to this important work. I hope you come out of it as great friends, which you will do if you keep Arizona and the tenant of one-person, one-vote democracy as your highest consideration. The importance of your work cannot be overstated. The anger and breakdown in today’s politics is in no small part the result of a failure of political infrastructure. The bridges we need in order to meet with one another halfway have fallen into disrepair. Every ten years we have the opportunity to make improvements. You are here as the engineers of that opportunity, so please do rise to the moment.

Jonathan Lujano Coconino As I watch the interviews, I believe the other four candidates are not cognizant of the fact they work FOR the citizens of Arizona. The commission must create districts that the 8 1/14/21 11:58:52 1/14/21 12:00:12 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In support people of Arizona want. Ronald j hart Coconino Good afternoon Commissioners. I’m writing to express my support for Robert Wilson as the Independent chair of the Arizona Redistricting Commission. I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Wilson on many issues when I was part of the Flagstaff Liberty Alliance, an organization dedicated to independent and third party involvement in politics. Over the years I have found him to be fair, balanced and independently minded. Additionally, since Mr. Wilson resides in Northern Arizona, I believe he is uniquely qualified to represent rural Arizona which is often left out of proceedings like these. Thanks so much for your time and consideration. 9 1/14/21 11:59:04 1/14/21 12:00:41 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In support Elisha Dorfsmith Maricopa I want an experienced leader/facilitator chairing this commission.

I want that seat to represent rural Arizona. Benjamin Foley Coconino 12 1/14/21 12:00:59 1/14/21 12:02:18 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In support An excellent choice for this opening! David Hanke Yavapai Robert Wilson is not an independent individual, he has a history of supporting exclusively Republican positions. Mr. Wilson has hosted events for , Governor , Republican legislator , and 2019 Republican legislative candidate John Saline. Our Independent IRC Chair must be TRULY INDEPENDENT! We cannot accept a political insider with a clear agenda. Arizona is best served by an open-minded Chair who 13 1/14/21 12:00:04 1/14/21 12:02:32 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In opposition will listen to ALL Arizonans during public testimony. Vianey De Anda Maricopa The redistricting of Arizona should basically untouched by human hand. The technology of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is more than capable of performing this task. Computers are obviously unbiased and if the process is based on date which has no party attachment the process would be completely unbiased.

I have over 20 years in GIS applications and could submit a document addressing how this can be technically achieved in more detailed.

If the principals of distracting are defined, such as size of precincts etc the algorithms can be developed and tested on dummy data. The actual redistricting may be observed by members of the commission to ensure it is never viewed form a party stand point. 14 1/14/21 12:02:59 1/14/21 12:04:56 General Comments Other/Neutral Dr.K.L.Gibson Kevin L.

Linda Warren Yavapai Executive Session is to be used for discussion about litigation, hiring and contracts. Being briefed about how to think about hiring the independent chair would not be protected conversation. Please anticipate going forward nearly all your conversations should be public by default. It is hard to have sensitive discussion in public, but to ensure public 16 1/14/21 12:02:05 1/14/21 12:05:34 General Comments Other/Neutral confidence in an open and transparent process, it is required. Deborah Howard Maricopa IRC Commissioners and interested parties:

As organizations that serve a number of Arizona communities, we congratulate you on your appointment to Arizona’s Independent Redistricting Commission (the IRC). Already, your critical work is beginning with the selection of the Independent Chair. We urge you to approach this important decision, and all of the responsibilities entrusted to you by the people of Arizona, with the utmost concern and not be influenced by special, partisan interests that might impede the fundamental principles of an independent redistricting process.

As you are undoubtedly aware, the Arizona Constitution requires that all IRC Commissioners uphold public confidence in the integrity of the redistricting process. It is fundamental to the integrity and public confidence in your work that you reject anyone whose personal politics will, or appear to, overwhelmingly influence their role as the chair of this commission. The Independent Chair cannot be someone whose decisions will be influenced by any of the major political parties, because they must often be the tie- breaking vote or consensus builder between those already on the commission. Our state and our future cannot afford the Independent Chair to be someone whose record demonstrates loyalty to a single political party or platform, whether through volunteerism, financial support, contracts, or employment.

In decades past, the IRC has sought public input through exhaustive hearings and David Lujan, President statewide engagement, and in return has received valuable local perspectives from the and CEO of Children’s people of Arizona on how to draw maps that best serve our state. We are concerned that Action Alliance and civic engagement in redistricting will become a relic of the past if Arizonans see politically Director of the Arizona and partisan influenced individuals in charge of congressional and legislative mapmaking, Center for Economic undermining a unique and effective commission that was designed to limit the influence of Progress - Beth Lewis, partisan agendas. Director of Save Our Schools Arizona - This is once-in-a-decade work, and a once-in-a-lifetime moment of public service for you. Kendra Alvarez, The significance of who you choose for the Independent Chair will set the tone not only for Arizona State Director the maps that are drawn this year, but for the representation and civic engagement of for National Arizonans who will shape the next decade. Please use discernment when evaluating Redistricting 17 1/14/21 12:04:53 1/14/21 12:06:23 General Comments Other/Neutral individuals for the Chair, knowing that their influence on our future will be great. Foundation Maricopa I am submitting comments to you today concerning your consideration of Robert Wilson of Flagstaff, a registered Independent, for a seat on the Arizona Redistricting Commission. I am speaking on behalf of the Board of Friends Of Flagstaff’s Future, a non-partisan, non- profit organization in Flagstaff.

We are a grassroots, multi-issue organization in Flagstaff whose mission is to achieve a sustainable, just and thriving Flagstaff through community education, engagement and advocacy.

We read with interest Mr. Wilson’s submitted statement on his application, particularly the paragraph where he mentions his connections to Friends of Flagstaff’s Future. This is an organization I personally have been affiliated with over the last 20 years and whose board I served on when Mr. Wilson was a member. I am currently serving another term on this board.

Mr. Wilson states that as a member of Friends of Flagstaff’s Future, “I was often met with preconceived bias about my political beliefs.” On the contrary Mr. Wilson’s political beliefs were unknown until he participated in the Speak Up Flagstaff group affiliated with the organization. During those meetings it was apparent that he came with a viewpoint that was opposed to most of the policies the organization was pushing for. He opposed our efforts to recycle plastic bags, establish a stronger energy code and protect open space. It appeared to us that Mr. Wilson joined our group to undermine our efforts to engage and educate the community about the issues we were advocating for.

Mr. Wilson also states in his application “the leadership of these organizations quickly learned that I am an open minded independent whose respect for diversity of opinion added significant value to their organization”. He did not add "significant value" to Friends of Flagstaff's Future and the Board did not perceive him to be "open minded". I consider Mr. Wilson’s participation in our organization to be divisive and an impediment to achieving our goals. Dealing with his ongoing efforts to thwart us were exhausting. Our experience with him continued for many months beyond his attendance at our events through his trolling behavior on our facebook page.

I urge you to not select him as the Independent Chairman of your Commission.

Every person on this list is beholden to and affiliated with Doug Ducey and the Republican Party. in this time of great political unrest and upheaval at the hands of the Republican Party it is imperative that a truly independent person be chosen, any other choice is a graven dereliction of Governor Duceys job. The Republican Party has been crying about unity this last week well now would be a good time to start working towards that unity. 26 1/14/21 12:05:15 1/14/21 12:13:33 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In support I have now been a resident of Arizona for over 10 years and consider it extremely James Warren Yavapai 27 1/14/21 12:14:54 1/14/21 12:15:20 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In support Iimportant believe rural that Arizonans this commission should be represented inby this individuals very important who understand redistricting rural process.

Chair, please consider not only their current party registration, but also: their party history, amount and history of their political donations, and their social media posts. These are all highly relevant factors in determining their ability to serve Arizona voters with independence and without favor to any party.

The integrity of our elections demands your best efforts to ensure that the IRC and its resulting maps are free from partisan influence or the appearance of impropriety. Despite the unfounded claims of fraud that arose in the 2020 election cycle, our elections in Arizona have been a model of success for the last few years. Arizona’s election success was demonstrated in the dismissal of the lawsuits filed which sought to establish fraud occurred without providing any evidence. Your choice of IRC Chair and commitment to free and fair elections will help insulate the IRC, the maps you draw, and Arizona elections for the next decade from insinuations of irregularity or partisan gerrymandering.

The four of you as Commissioners have been given an important charge, and I urge you to keep the interests of all Arizona voters who depend on you foremost in your minds as you first select the fifth Commissioner as Chair, and then complete your tasks for redistricting in Arizona over the next many months. 74 1/14/21 12:29:48 1/14/21 12:45:00 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In support Arizona is a beautiful and unique state.

We believe in the promise of Proposition 106 and the AIRC – that five people acting in good faith, with integrity and in the spirit of impartiality can create a fair and competitive political landscape to serve all the residents of Arizona. It has worked twice before. Record voter turnout in the most recent election is testament to the power of voter engagement and a continuation of increased voter participation, a trend begun 20 years ago with the passage of Prop. 106. We want to see that trend continue.

Your selection of a Chairperson and the reasoning you use to reach this decision will either decrease or increase the doubt and suspicion that is already present. It will either set in motion a continuation of the historic success of the AIRC that has contributed to increased civic engagement in the last 20 years, or it will not. Every decision you make will be intensively scrutinized. Decisions are likely to get harder and the stakes higher as you begin creating districts. But the decision of who will be named Chairperson will be the one that will define how the five of you work together. It will determine whether the votes will always be 3 to 2, or if it could be 5 to 0, a result that could be achieved through give and take, trust, and the ability to compromise. It will also be the first opportunity to demonstrate to the public and to all stakeholders the authenticity of your stated commitment to act in an honest, independent, and impartial fashion, upholding the public confidence in the integrity of the redistricting process. 122 1/14/21 13:17:05 1/14/21 13:21:54 Interview #1 - Robert Wilson In support I believe rural Arizonans should be represented in this very important redistricting process.
