What might a more diverse and inclusive Howard County Council look like?

Here’s one example of what a more open, fair, and inclusive approach to Howard County Council redistricting could produce.

A more inclusive Howard County needs a more inclusive approach to redistricting

A county that cares about inclusivity needs an approach to council redistricting that is open to all, transparent, as fair as possible, and not controlled by partisan interests

A Howard County concerned about equity needs a more equitable way to elect its county council

Let’s elect the Howard County Council in such a way that every voter has an equal chance to express their preferences and have them matter.

A more diverse Howard County needs a more diverse county council

When we expand the Howard County Council let’s make it more reflective of the people it serves.

A bigger Howard County needs a bigger county council

Let’s expand the Howard County Council to make it more responsive to the larger population it now serves.
