Your response: My community is made up, primarily, of people who have moved out of Columbus, GA up north to the cheaper Harris County. Very few people are native residents.

  - What are the cultural bonds in your community?
  - If your community has a shared history, what is it?

Examples of cultural or historical interests: Religious groups, ethnic groups, languages, age groups, immigration status, historic or arts districts, etc.

Your response: Harris County is rapidly diversifying but is still very much majority white. Many of the first residents to come out to Harris County were "white flight" cases, but now people of color are also moving up to Harris County. Southern and western Harris County is home to the vast majority of new residents while farther north and east most people are natives. Towns like Cataula, northern Forston, and Ellerslie are home to the majority of newcomers such as myself.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: With so many people moving into the area, pollution, deforestation, mining farther north, and clean water are major concerns the county does not seem equipped to deal with.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: More environmental protections, criminal justice reform, and better access to healthcare facilities so we do not need to drive into Columbus as often. Many people have to travel for miles and well over half an hour for goods and services.
