Spotlight on Redistricting

This Zoom event will offer an update on the current redistricting process in both Palm Beach County and the State of Florida.

Guest Speakers:

+ Ellen Freidin is CEO and General Counsel of Fair Districts Now, Inc. She has been the leader of the FairDistricts movement since 2006 and led Fair Districts Florida in its successful 2010 citizens' initiative to outlaw gerrymandering. The Florida Constitution now prohibits drawing districts with intent to favor a political party or incumbent and requires that districts be compact, contiguous, equal in population, and follow existing boundaries while expressly protecting the rights of minority voters.

+ Patrick Rutter is an Assistant County Administrator and has been appointed head of the redistricting effort for Palm Beach County. He joined the county in 2003 and was appointed to his current position in 2018. He oversees Planning, Zoning and Building; Engineering and Public Works; Environmental Resource Management; Water Resources; and Resilience and Community Revitalization.

Moderator:

Tony Doris is Editorial Page Editor of The Palm Beach Post. He started at the daily newspaper in 2004 and has worked as Palm Beach Gardens reporter, government editor, and as a member of the Investigative Team.
