(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa lawmakers are approving the second set of redistricting maps to reset the congressional and state legislative districts based on the 2020 Census. The first redistricting proposal failed to pass out of the Senate.
Republicans who control the Senate asked for a second plan that was more compact with better population differences. G-O-P leaders say the new plan met those requests and both the Senate and the House passed the second plan Thursday.
Governor Kim Reynolds said in a statement that she believes these new districts will fairly and accurately represent the citizens of Iowa for the next decade.
