Montgomery County

Fair Districts PA of Montgomery County (MontCo) is a group of volunteers working to restore democracy to our community by educating ourselves, our neighbors, and our elected officials on the harmful effects of gerrymandering, and applying pressure on the Legislature to pass redistricting reform.

Gerrymandering hurts MontCo

Gerrymandering has split Montgomery County among multiple legislators, diluting our voice:

• Our population warrants our own congressional district in Washington, DC, but instead we have been divided among five districts—and not one of those five U.S. Representatives lives in Montgomery County.
• Based on our population, we should also have three dedicated state senators. Instead, we have six senators whom we share with at least one or two other counties.

Do you have an example of how gerrymandering has impacted you or your community? Send us an email at fdpa.montco@gmail.com.
