In this episode, we dive into Redwood City's redistricting process and its impact on the upcoming 2024 City Council elections. Our guest, former Redwood City Pulse reporter Leah Worthington, who covered the redistricting process extensively, walks us through the 2022 boundary changes and how they have shaped the city’s political landscape. We explore the reasons behind the shift from at-large elections to district-based elections, the role of community input, and the challenges faced during redistricting. Leah also shares insights on what voters in districts 1, 3, 4, and 7 can expect in this year’s election and how these changes aim to create fairer representation for all residents.
