Council Redistricting
16
I was born in Corpus Christi in 1942 and had served 9 years as an assistant
city attorney when Mary Rhodes was mayor. Redistricting is complex.
Guarding Constitutional and Voter Rights can be a daunting obligation.
Councilmembers hold a sacred duty. As volunteer, public servants with
integrity, the last thing you want is to create a perception that you favor
protection of your own incumbency, that you do not put public interest first.
Generally speaking, protection of incumbency is the #1 recognized evil
among redistricting options. It is accomplished by manipulation of district
boundaries. It may be legal, but it is wrong. Unfortunately, the resolution
before you today includes a negative guideline to have you protect
incumbents, making it OK. PLEASE DELETE THAT ELEMENT. STRIKE
INCUMBENCY PROTECTION FROM THE CRITERIA. Do not open the door to
undeserved criticism. You do not want to manipulate boundaries in your
favor, but you must make that clear in the criteria Exhibit.

Topic Redistricting
Agenda Item Number General Public Comment
Describe Feedback:
Mayor Guajardo, Council Members: Politicians bemoan the lack of voter
engagement. When districts and incumbents appear 'safe' many feel that
voting doesn't matter so they fail to register to vote, or fail to vote if
registered. This leads to a lack of civic engagement. To have a thriving and
vibrant city, an engaged populous is a must. Every 10 years we, as a
community, have an opportunity to draw new district lines. Please consider
the recommendations made by Mr. Timothy Dowling in the documents he
provided in July 2021 and those provided by League of Women Voters
Corpus Christi Area President, Kathryn Oler last week. An Independent
Redistricting Commission would be a great way to start addressing the bias in
the current system. Thank you for continuing virtual public comment and for
agreeing to meet with constituents in the current districts. Please publicize
the redistricting process as much as possible. Respectfully submitted, Paula
Breighton
