The Committee's charge was to propose at least three potential maps for county commissioner districts to the Redistricting Commission on June 30, 2025. To discharge this duty, the Committee met weekly on Thursday evenings at the Weld County Administration Building in Greeley. Due to Memorial Day Weekend, the Committee did not have a quorum present on Thursday May 22. The Committee also had a public listening session in Firestone on June 4 with three committee members present, and a listening session on June 6 in Eaton with a majority of the committee present. The Committee also allowed for questions and statements during the Thursday work sessions, especially at the June 19 meeting. Colorado law required the Committee to consider the following factors when drawing district lines. First, all three districts need to be as equal in population as possible with no more than a five percent deviation between any two districts. Second, the map needs to preserve whole communities of interest and political subdivisions as much as reasonably possible, and the districts need to be as compact as reasonably possible. Third, the maps need to maximize political competitiveness to the extent reasonably possible. Beyond these three criteria, it is impermissible under the law to draw a map with the purpose of protecting a political candidate or political party. It is also impermissible to draw a map that results in the denial or abridgement of any citizen's right to vote on account of the person's race or membership in a language minority group. Page 1 of 6 COUNTY, CO Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee Report The Committee believes all three maps proposed are reasonable under the statutory criteria. Furthermore, at no time did the committee consider where an incumbent or declared candidate lives in drawing the district lines. Finally, the Committee does not see any evidence that the proposed maps deny or abridge any citizen's right to vote. Communities of Interest As required by statute, the Committee considered city and town boundaries when drawing the maps. Given that there are 32 cities and towns in Weld County, the Committee unanimously decided to make subgroups as communities of interest for the county south of Highway 34. This was in response to concerns of both members of the committee as well as public input. The Committee decided that the most appropriate method of grouping the municipalities was via the major roads that connect them: I-25 and Highway 85. These groupings made it manageable to decide where to divide the southern portion of the county and resulted in the following: • The 1-25 corridor consists of Berthoud, Dacono, Erie, Firestone, Frederick, Johnstown, Longmont, and Mead. • The Highway 85 corridor consists of Brighton, Evans, Fort Lupton, Garden City, Gilcrest, La Salle, and Platteville. Though it is a subset of the 1-25 corridor, the Committee paid particular attention to the tri-town area of Dacono, Firestone, and Frederick. Under the previous map, these communities were split with District 3 capturing the entire southern boundary of Weld County including most of Dacono while District 2 had most of Firestone and Frederick. The Committee believes all three maps fix this issue and will form a good base for future Page 2 of 6 COUNTY, CO Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee Report maps and redistricting as the southern portion of the county keeps growing. Below is a figure showing what the area looks like in all three of the proposed maps. Tri-Cities Area in ALL Three Proposals In general, the Committee also tried to place the anticipated growth areas of the municipalities into the same district as the municipality itself. The goal here is to have the map best conform with the statutory criteria through 2033 as possible. A major decision that the Committee needed to make was what to do with Greeley. Statute requires municipalities to be kept whole in districts as much as reasonably possible. The target number for a district is 109,927, and Greeley's census population in 2020 was 109,446. Thus, it is conceivable to keep Greeley as its own district. However, there are two main downsides to this approach. Page 3of6 COUNTY, CO Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee Report The first downside is it results in separating the heavily Hispanic portions of Greeley from the heavily Hispanic portions of Evans and unincorporated Weld County just outside the Greeley city limits. Greeley itself is roughly 40% Hispanic with a higher proportion on the eastern side of the city than the western side. In the Committee's opinion, the Hispanic community is a community of interest and therefore splitting Greeley allows for this to be better represented in a single district. The Committee did not create any sort of target percentage or otherwise directly consider the racial or ethnic composition of any precinct or district as dispositive when deciding a boundary but, as a general principle, the Committee thinks it is important to keep this community in mind as a community of interest. The Committee is also concerned that keeping Greeley in its own district has the unintended consequence of siloing that one future commissioner. Though three of the commissioners are elected by district, all five represent the entire county and splitting up Greeley helps ensure future commissioners are inclined to look more at the county as a whole instead of their single municipality where the Board of County Commissioners does not have any legislative authority. Additionally, keeping Greeley as its own district would require District 1 to find more population from the southern portion of the county. The Committee discussed perhaps grouping the more rural Highway 85 communities with District 1. This was not a workable solution because it results in a gigantic district that would be infeasible for a single Commissioner to cover adequately. Additionally, there are fundamental differences between the predominantly dryland farming in the north and the more heavily irrigated Page 4 of 6 COUNTY, CO Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee Report farmland in the south, so, in the Committee's opinion, it is reasonable to separate these two regions into separate districts. For these reasons, the Committee determined that it is necessary to divide Greeley between multiple districts to best meet the statutory criteria and keep communities of interest together. In general, the Committee attempted to minimize divisions in Greeley by using sensible geographical boundaries such as 35th Ave, 23rd Ave, or Highway 34 when possible. Evans is also predominantly divided along similar lines such as 23rd Ave or 37th St. These boundaries helpfully coincide with existing precinct boundaries, and in general the Committee did not identify any areas where a neighborhood would be divided along a fence line or other unintuitive feature. Notes on Proposed Maps The Committee decided that it did not want to give a formal recommendation to the Commission as to which proposed option it preferred prior to the robust public hearings that will happen in July. As such, the Committee asked staff to use a naming scheme that attempts to avoid connotations of a preference between the maps. Staff decided it was reasonable to use names of major rivers, and the Committee agrees with this choice. Though the Committee will not be providing any detailed analysis of relative merits of each map under the statute, the Committee believes it is important to make a few factual findings on precincts to facilitate analysis by both the Redistricting Commission and the public on keeping political subdivisions together and minimizing divisions when they do occur. Page 5 of 6 COUNTY, CO Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee Report First, the Committee wants to draw particular attention to precinct 347 which is bounded by Highway 34 to the north, 23rd Ave to the east, 37th St to the south, and 35th Ave to the west. This precinct is split between Greeley and Evans, but as far as the Committee can tell, the Greeley portion is currently all commercial with no residents. There are plans for a future Habitat for Humanity community in this area, but this community has yet to be constructed. Second, precinct 134 has a flagpole annexation by the Town of Kersey that goes approximately two miles north on County Road 53 from the main part of the Town. This flagpole appears to have a single residence on it, and otherwise there are no portions of Kersey within this precinct which covers a large geographical area that extends all the way to Highway 85 in the west. Third, precinct 216 is almost entirely unincorporated Weld County except for a small flagpole annexation of Fort Lupton on the southern boundary of the precinct. With these notes, the Committee presents the three proposed maps: Poudre, South Platte, and Thompson. The maps are largely similar with the only variations being how to most appropriately divide Greeley, Evans, and the surrounding unincorporated areas. As such, the Committee directed Staff to provide zoomed in maps of the three options for the Commission and Public to get a better look at the differences.

If the city must be split, I would hope to see that process happen along logical lines- ie keep downtown in a single district, splitting the city by a logical main intersection geographically (say 71st Ave as an example), and not dividing up neighborhoods that have diverse populations to weaken the say of those county residents. Pamela Nichols-Kretzer Hudson, Weld I think things need to be left alone. You don't listen to the people anyway. You allow horse racing in the county that attracts lots of people and now you are allowing Bandimere to come in to the same area do you not realize what this will do to Hudson you allowed a woman's prison to be built that is closed. I think everyone one of you should be voted out. You don't care about the people you supposedly represent. William Adkins Greeley, Weld Follow the Colorado Law. This looks to be an attempt to Gerrymander the district and can have lasting consequences no matter which party is in control. Danielle Chavez Greeley, Weld Follow Colorado Law Donna Adkins Greeley, Weld Why do the county commissioners have so much power? Are they taking away the voters rights to choose their candidate's Voters have the right to choose their own candidate! Stop the gerrymandering Shirley Smithson Greeley, Weld I strongly disagree with redistricting policies that unlawfully support the power of one political party over another, in this case your purposeful actions to have Republican voting wins. A fair, honest and lawful redistricting will balance the input of voting constituencies. As to your obvious bias, you now ask for a watch and review to make sure your actions are in line with the Colorado directives for fair elections. Kathleen Milligan Greeley, CO Because most of the population of Weld County resides in the Greeley area, I urge the Redistricting Advisory Committee to schedule a meeting for listening to public input in Greeley and publicize it adequately. As far as I am aware the committee actually has only two meetings scheduled (according to the Tribune). The Fort Lupton meeting on Monday, June 2, may not have actually occurred. It was neither pubicized nor made clear to those who wanted to attend as to where it would be held. Fourteen people showed up at AIMS Community College on June 2, not knowing that the meeting was held in Ft. Lupton at AIMS. In any case these scheduled meetings do not provide adequate access for input for Greeley residents. The importance of Greeley resident input is especially urgent because these listening sessions are the only opportunity for residents to see the maps and to impact decisions about them. After that, when the Advisory Committee presents the three maps to the Commissioners, theme will probably not be opportunity to change them. Please schedule another listening session in the Greeley area. Thank you to the Advisory Committee for all of their work on the maps so far! Jillaire McMillan Longmont (unincorporated, technically), Weld I live in unincorporated Weld County with a Longmont address. Sometimes it feels like we live a long way from Greeley, the population and political center of the county. When looking at the previous map, it looked like areas of SW Weld County were divided into different districts, diluting the voice of our communities which are united by geography as well as other communities. Mead, Firestone, Frederick, and Erie all belong to the St. Vrain Valley School District and occupy this distant part of the county. We feel united in some ways through the community created by our children's school boundaries. I know that the legal guidance is to keep cities in tact, but since I don't live in a city, it would be nice to have my other boundary -based community (schools --my kids are zoned for and attend Mead schools) taken into consideration. Being as far away from Greeley as we are, it would be nice to feel likethose of us in SW Weld County are united in our political power by being in one commissioner district together. Frederick Mahe Windsor, Weld "To whom it may concern, Weld County is wary well represented by the commissioners who spend so much time and energy and serving their constituents. I understand there's a movement from the left to redraw the lines in order to get more left leaning commissioners, elected. The people of Weld overwhelmingly voted for Republican candidates in the last election as well as President Trump. The commissioners politics are commiserate with the values that the people of Weld County hold. The results are clear. Thank you. Frederick Mahe" Laurie Camp Frederick, Weld It is unnecessary and unethical to redistribute at this time. Redistributing in order to flip a county blue (or red for that matter) disrupts people who have purchased a home in an area where their neighbors, schools and communities share similar values. It results in neighbors fighting over politics, parents unable to send their children to local schools (options being homeschooling or private schools) and people considering moving out of state to avoid leftist policies infiltrating their daily lives. We have homeschooled for years and feel that Weld is the only reasonable county in northern Colorado. Flipping it blue when it is currently 70% republican will only serve to annoy 70% of the county. The libs have already ruined the schools and are trying to infiltrate local businesses as well. Please reconsider. Let the libs stay in the myriad blue counties that already exist. We need to protect the few conservative counties that remain. LORENZA MESTAS MARTINEZ GILCREST, WELD THE DISTRICTS SHOULD STAY THE SAME. WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR VALUES, OUR FAMILY VALUES FOR THE FUTURE. THIS COUNTY IS A FARMIING, BLUE COLLAR COMMUNITY AND TO HAVE PEOPLE NOT ALIGNED WITH THOSE VALUES COME AND CHANGE DISTRICT LINES FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT IS WRONG. PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTIES SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO COME INTO WELD AND CHANGE FARMING RULES OR REGULATIONS. THE FARMING AND BLUECOLLAR PEOPLE ARE JUST LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS WHOJUST WANT THE BEST FOR THEIR FAMILIES. WELD COUNTY JUST CAN'T ROLL OVER AND GO WITH THE "FLOW" OR GO WITH IDEAS THAT DON'T REPRESENT WELD COUNTY. NOTHING IS PERFECT, BUT CHANGING DISTRICT LINES IS NOT THE ANSWER. THANK YOU Adam DeRito La Salle, CO "Esteemed Members of the Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee, My name is Adam DeRito, and 1 submit this statement to you not only as a concerned citizen, but as someone who has devoted his life to serving, working, and investing in the future of Weld County. I am an Army officer who has worn our nation's uniform in defense of the freedomswe all cherish. I am an oil and gas worker who knows firsthand how Weld's energy industry sustains thousands of families and drives Colorado's economy. I am a farmer who has seen our county's fields feed our state and nation. As a substitute teacher, I dedicate time to the next generation, striving to instill in there the values that make our community strong. Today, I am witnessing everything I love about Weld County slowly eroding under the weight of progressive urban ideology creeping into our rural home. Redistricting maps currently being advanced by Democrat activists threaten to flip our county blue, silencing the conservative voice that has guided Weld County for generations. Consider the facts: Weld supports more than 13,000 oil and gas jobs, producing over 85% of Colorado's oil— an industry directly threatened by restrictive policies pushed by politicians who do not value or understand our way of life. Our farmers generate more than $2 billion annually in crops and livestock, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture, yet urban lawmakers —who have never stepped foot on our fields— propose burdensome regulations that jeopardize the survival of family farms. Nearly 20,000 veterans, myself included, call Weld home because of its respect for service and commitment to freedom —values that will erode if our county is gerrymandered into political irrelevance. Redistricting should never serve as a tool to impose failed big -city policies on rural communities. It should reflect the will of the people who actually live and work here, honoring Weld County's unique character, economic backbone, and deeply held conservative values. I urge the members of this advisory committee to reject any map designed to dilute Weld County's conservative majority or import the same destructive urban policies that have led to rising crime, crumbling infrastructure, and failing communities in cities like Denver and San Francisco. Committee members should stand with the oilfield worker, the farmer, the teacher, and the veteran who believe Weld's best days are ahead — but only if we protect it now. Thank you for your service to our county and for your commitment to fair representation that honors Weld County's proud heritage and future. Respectfully submitted, Adam DeRito 16111 County Road 49 La Salle, CO 80645 873-617-0378' Adam DeRito La Salle, Colorado "Good morning, Redistricting Advisory Committee, My name is Adam DeRito. 1 am a proud resident of Weld County, the National Vice Chairman of the America First Veterans Association, a member of the Board of Governors for the Colorado Hispanic Republicans, an oil and gas worker, a farmer, a substitute teacher, and an officer in the United States Army Reserve. While many people of my generation are working or caring for their families at this hour, I stand here because this meeting is essential to preserving the constitutional republic we hold dear. Weld County's future —and with it, the values we cherish —depends on participation like this. Let's set aside slogans and platitudes and focus on indisputable facts: • First, redistricting county commissioner districts —absent explicit constitutional or federal Voting Rights Act violatons—is a local matter. As a home -rule county, Weld has primary authority over its governmental organization. In Voss v. Lundvall Bros., the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed that local charters override conflicting state statutes on purely local concerns. • Second, those invoking H.B. 21-1047 misinterpret its purpose. The legislative record shows the bill targets gerrymandering in state legislative redistricting —not county -level processes governed by home - rule charters. Its silence on home -rule counties was intentional, reflecting respect for local control. • Third, Greeley, division is a necessity, not gerrymandering. Due to the massive population growth from residents teeing unlivable cities like Denver, Greeley exceeds the population size of a single commissioner district. The split was mathematically required to meet Reynolds v. Sims, "one person, one vote" mandate. It was done using neutral, legal criteria: population equality, compactness, and contiguity. The Latino Coalition has offered no evidence of discriminatory intent or effect, as required by Thornburg v. GiNgles. • Fourth, there is zero proof of harm: no data show decreased Latino voter turnout, diminished representation, or diluted electoral power. Courts have consistently ruled that technical imperfections do not invalidate a process that results in fair and lawful representation. In summary, Weld County's home -rule charter grants it local redistricting authority; H.B. 21-1047 does not preempt that authority; and the county's process —though not perfect —substantially complied with procedural requirements and preserved population equality. The absence of discriminatory intent or harm renders the claims of the League of Women Voters and Latino Coalition insufficient, and any remedy must be proportionate, not the wholesale invalidation of a fair map. But let's be candid about what's really happening: powerful outside groups want to flip Weld County in 2026, erasing one of the last strongholds of commonsense conservatism in Colorado. They aim to unseat Republican representatives who defend our livelihoods in the oilfield, on our farms, and in our homes. They want to impose policies that drain our water to feed cities plagued by crime and addiction, raise our taxes to fund services for illegal immigrants, and push us deeper into unsustainable debt. I moved to Weld County in 2017 to escape those failed policies and find peace, prosperity, and freedom. Those who support different ideologies are free to live in counties that reflect their beliefs, but their ideas are not welcome here in the county I love. With firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we as Weld County conservatives pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor to defend our community and preserve our way of life.

Nicole Riner Greeley, Weld I attended the July 16 public hearing and was dismayed to hear the commissioners, in a conversation led by my district commissioner, Jason Maxey, consider rejecting the three proposed maps put forth by an independent committee in favor of ... something of their own devising, I guess? He also asked if we could just scrap the entire project and continue using the current map, which the county lawyer present had to explain was not legal. I hope our commissioners, who enjoy a remarkable amountof independent power compared to most counties in this state, do not intend to subvert the court's intention to equalize the districts of our growing county to continue stacking the deck in their favor. This prgect is an important part of regaining public trust. Isaiah Cordova Eaton, Weld "All three of these maps--Poudre, South Platte, and Thompson, are still splitting Greeley. Greeley is a distinct community of interest and it is anti -democratic to try to continue your gerrymandering even after that court decision. I have attached a map that more accurately represents the communities of interest across Weld County, and this comes from my experience living here. This is not the state government interceding in our affairs, it is the state governmert protecting us as voters in Weld County from your manipulation, and you need to do what is right, https://admin.us.openforms.com/Results/ResponseFile?fileld=dac74cc4-24af-478d-84f0- b79992476256&f i le N a me=weld %20commiss loner%20di stricts. png Barbara Whinery Greeley, Weld "To the Weld County District Redistricting Commission: After reviewing the Report to the County Redistricting Commission by the Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee submitted on June 30, 2025 and examining the three proposed maps, I am recommending the South Platte map. Each of the three maps have a similar layout of each district by county regions, keeping relevant communities of interest together. I have supported this concept from the very beginning and appreciate the Redistricting Advisory Committee's rationalefor doing so. It is much more challenging to decide what is the best configuration for the dividing Greeley into each of the three proposed Districts. As much as I understand why some residents would like to have Greeley be included in one district, the argument to have each district be part of the Greeley makes sense to me at this time. I believe it is beneficial to have each district be part of Greeley support the proposed configuration in the South Platte map. Since I live on the west side of Greeley, I understand and have full knowledge the communities around me and how they relate to each other, especially with transportation within Weld County and between counties. I believe it is important to keep the surrounding areas around HWY 34 and Business HWY 34 together in District 1 as much as possible all the way out to I-25. This would also be important if or when Cascadia comes to fruition. My hope was that this process may result in a district that was politically competitive, however it was difficult for me to determine. Thank you to the Weld County District Redistricting Commission and the Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee for their efforts to keep the process on timeline and to work with each other and to enable the Weld County residents to be involved in open meetings and on-line through the Weld County website. The website was very helpful with redistricting information and provided opportunities to participate a variety of ways. The time, efforts and expertise by the Weld County Deputy Attorney, Matt Conroy and the Wield County Deputy Clerk, Rudy Santos was very appreciated. Personally, I have learned more about Weld County and have appreciated being a part of this process!" Mary Koehler Windsor, Weld I am a registered voter who vehemently opposes the consideration of redistricting maps provided by County Commissioners Jame and Maxey. Similar maps were already deemed non -compliant by Colorado Supreme Court. State Statute was established to prevent gerrymandering. Three maps have been established to consider, by a bipartisan committee and following state guidelines. Only those should be considered. Kim Frederick -Law Greeley, Weld "The proposed naps are not compliant with Colorado State Statute and do away with maps created by a bipartisan committee that provided three fair and equitable maps that gave voting districts to communities of interest per State Law. The new maps created by the Commissioners look similar to their original maps that were deemed not compliant by the Colorado Supreme Court. I reject the two new maps and want to instead use one of the three maps from the bipartisan committee." Lisa Cummings Eaton, Weld I would like the Commissioners to choose one of the three maps (South Platte, Poudre and Thompson) that were presented by the Redistricting Advisory Committee, and not the Beebe Draw or Lone Tree map. I appreciate that the Advisory Committee is nonpartisan, and many different points of view have lead to proposals that are preferred to ones presented by individual Commissioners. I believe these recommended maps do a better job of preserving communities of interest by incorporating the growing municipalities of Dacono, Frederick and Firestone into one district. The report by the Advisory Committee does a good job of explaining the need to divide Greeley and Evans, while preservieg the Hispanic communities on the eastern side of these communities. The voters asked for non-partisan groups to propose redistricting maps. The Commissioners should honor the will of the voters and choose one of these maps. Christine Talbot Greeley, Weld It's a bit insulting that Commissioners Jame and Maxey want to sidestep Colorado law with maps very similar to ones already ruled non -compliant with the law by the Colorado Supreme Court. A bipartisan committee has already proposed three maps that do comply with state law for consideration. Moreover, voters asked for these non-partisan maps. Honor the will of the voters! Chelsie Romulo Greeley, Weld Please use one of the three fair and equitable maps by the bipartisan committee. Doing away with these and trying to sneak through maps that are noncompliant with state law is disrespectful to your constituents and insulting to the public service you are supposed to uphold. Shame on you. Christina Kauffman Greeley, Weld Prefer South Platte or Lone Tree maps Cindy Furman Windsor, Weld I am against the two new redistricting maps being presented by County Commissioners for Weld County. Dr. Michael and M. Susan Carey Windsor, CO Please follow Colorado law and choose one of the maps drawn up by the bi-partisan re -districting committee. Because this committee is bi-partisan, those maps will prevent biased elections. Jared Keating Firestone, Weld Do not redistrict. You are corrupted bought and paid for garbage of you do! Tania Raugewitz Windsor,Weld I do not support the proposed redistrict map. It has hardly changed from the previous- this is not a good faith effort to value a representative voice of the people. Exhibit V L June 12, 2025 LEAGUE of WOMEN VOTERS" OF GREELEY-WELD COUNTY Dear Weld County Board of Commissioners and Redistricting Commission, We're writing to express our gratitude and appreciation for the work that has been put into the redistricting process. The Board has clearly spent time organizing meetings and maps, as well as appointing county personnel with expertise to assist. We agree with you that the redistricting process should be open and transparent, and we'd like to share some suggestions to encourage more public participation as well as better understanding of how to participate. A minimum of two days' notice and county -wide posting of the agenda before each Listening Session would allow for better public involvement. We realize that Colorado Open Meetings Law states that meetings must be noticed at least 24 hours minimum, but we feel that 48 hours would increase public engagement, and the Greeley -Weld League of Women Voters is happy to assist in these efforts. We noted that the Aims Community Co lege-Ft. Lupton meeting on June 2 was not posted or announced county -wide. We strongly suggest that a Listening Session be held in Greeley. We ask that proper notice (including location) and meeting agendas for Advisory Council meetings be posted on the Weld County Redistricting website and Weld County social media. We ask that opportunities be provided for public input at these meetings. Because redistricting is such an important action for voters, we ask that the Board of Commissioners provide general publicity around the county to inform the citizens of opportunities to participate in the process. The Greeley -Weld League of Women Voters is happy to assist with redistricting education. We ask that you make proposed maps available on the Weld County redistricting website so the public can provide input. Please include the Base Map (current map of Weld County Districts) for context, as well as additional data on demographics, minority groups, and political affiliation. An explanation and the decision -making process for each proposed map would be very helpful in understanding the maps and the ideas behind them, especially on the redistricting criteria of: • population equality, • compliance with federal Voting Rights Act, 52 USC 10301 et.seq., • keeping communities of interest and political subdivisions in the same district, • geographical compactness of districts, and • political competitiveness. A voter at the Listening Session in Eaton requested that redistricting information be translated into Spanish. Because Weld County (and soon Greeley) is required to provide Spanish -language ballots due to the number of Spanish -speakers in the county, translation of redistricting materials seems appropriate and would be appreciated. Again, the League of Women Voters of Greeley -Weld County appreciates the work that has gone into the redistricting process so far, and we look forward to supporting these efforts until maps have been fairly decided. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we might be of assistance. Sincerely yours, Barbara L. Whinery Redistricting Spokesperson League of Women Voters of Greeley -Weld County cc: Beth Hendrix, Executive Director, League of Women Voters of Colorado Jeanne Lipman, Chair (2025-26), League of Women Voters Greeley -Weld County Thomas Tai, Staff Attorney, League of Women Voters of the United States Kurtis Morrison, Office of the Attorney General of Colorado Kendra Beckwith, Partner, Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP Matt Conroy, Weld County Chief Deputy Attorney Rudy Santos, Weld County Chief Deputy Clerk and Recorder Exhibit W I Exhibit X Political Competilveness Report COUNTY, CO COUNTY, CO 2025 Redistricting Political Competitiveness Report Introduction The statutory criteria for selecting a county commissioner redistricting map are laid out in Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) § 30-10-306.3. One of the statutory criteria is to maximize the number of politically competitive districts to the extent reasonably possible. C.R.S. § 30-10-306.3(3)(a). A district is considered competitive if it has a reasonable potential for the party affiliation of the district's county commissioner to change at least once between federal decennial censuses. C_.R.S. § 30-10-306.3(3)(d). Competitiveness may be measured by factors such as a proposed district's past election results, a proposed district's political party registration data, and evidence -based analyses of proposed districts. Id._ Evidence before the Commission The Redistricting Commission's nonpartisan staff prepared pie charts of the active voter party registration data to consider political competitiveness. The pie charts are included in Exhibits F, G, H, P, and S in the Commission's Record. Staff chose this dataset as it is one of the factors explicitly mentioned by statute. Staff did not include past election results as the districts in all proposed maps were new which prevented any sort of apples -to -apples comparison. In addition to the work of the Redistricting Advisory Committee, the Commission also held five different public hearings and allowed for the submission of public comments regarding redistricting. Public comment focused almost entirely on communities of interest and political subdivisions, and there was no significant comment bringing in additional information or evidence regarding political competitiveness. Therefore the Commission only had the evidence prepared by Staff to consider. Page 1 of 2 COUNTY, CO 2025 Redistricting Political Competitiveness Report Findings Concerning Political Competitiveness Ultimately, the Commission selected the "Poudre" Map which was proposed by the nonpartisan Redistricting Advisory Committee. Like all the maps presented by the Advisory Committee, the se.ected map maximizes political competitiveness as all three districts maintain a significant plurality or majority of unaffiliated voters (District 1: 45.6%, District 2: 50.0%, and District 3: 50.2%). See Exhibit F at 2. Thus, every district has a reasonable probability of changing political parties every decade. Page 2of2 Hello
