Plan Description
This map’s focus is on Congressional District (“CD”) 2. All the districts have been balanced within the +/- 5% deviation. The map follows the guidelines of Prop 106. It protects several communities of interest. The map is designed to protect rural communities and therefore takes into account the rural nature of the communities comprising CD 2. It also maintains the national monuments that are inherent and historically relevant to Arizona such as the Grand Canyon, parts of the Colorado River and Walnut Canyon. The map removes Prescott and Prescott Valley from CD 2 because IRC listening tours show that Prescott’s interests do not align with the other cities and communities drawn in CD 2.
Plan Objective
CD 2 adds the copper and cattle communities of interest (Globe, Superior, Kearny and parts of Casa Grande). Interest was expressed in the copper and cattle communities to be included in the rural district. CD 2 pays particular attention to the Native American population. It includes not only the Navajo Nation but also the Hopi, Yavapai Apache, San Carlos Apache, Tonto Apache, Zuni, Havasupai, San Juan Southern Paiute, and White Mountain Apache communities as well as a portion of the Hualapai community. In essence, CD 2 protects Native Americans under the Voting Rights Act by including as many contiguous Native American tribes as possible in CD 2.
