Maps Show Changes Proposed By Rep. Quick To Modify House Districts 117 And 119

Oconee County’s two delegates in the Georgia House of Representatives agreed after a town hall style meeting in Bogart in April to release maps showing how their two districts could be reconfigured  to put all of Oconee County voters back into a single district.

Following that meeting, Dan O’Connor, a data analyst in the Reapportionment Office of the General Assembly, provided the detailed maps–the first ever released–showing the changes in House Districts 117 and 119 requested before the legislative session in January by Rep. Regina Quick from the 117th District.

Those changes were never introduced to the General Assembly, but both Quick and Rep. Chuck Williams from the 119th District said at the Bogart meeting that they are prepared to ask for the changes when the General Assembly reconvenes in January of next year.

Neither presented an overly optimistic assessment of the chances the changes actually would be made, but they agreed to try to bring them about.
