Press release from City of Fort Worth:

January 12, 2022

At 6 p.m. Jan. 13 in the City Council Chamber at City Hall, the Redistricting Task Force will conduct a public hearing on seven selected redistricting maps.

Any member of the public who wishes to address the task force during the public presentations portion of the meeting must register by 4 p.m. Thursday. Registered speakers may make comments in-person or via call-in option. Comments are limited to three minutes per registered speaker.

• Map X, by Pablo Calderon.

• Map Q, by Michelle Swindle.
• Map M, by Rejina Shrestha.

The creators of each of the seven selected maps are encouraged to register to speak and attend Thursday’s hearing to discuss their proposed map.
