redistricting

The Albuquerque City Council Redistricting Committee is scheduled to hold its last meeting Wednesday evening in the once-a-decade redistricting process for the state’s largest city, which began in March. The public is invited to submit comment on a number of concept maps ahead of the committee's recommendation to the Council Friday.

State legislators passed only a fraction of the bills and resolutions introduced in this year’s short, 30-day session.

Natalie Figueroa, spoke with KUNM’s Nash Jones about what happened to the legislation and why she’ll continue to advocate for it.
