  - 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: There is no visibility of either City or County representatives. We want our lines to be fairly held together to give us the opportunity to vote for leaders who will share our policy concerns, and make themselves available to our community. Presently we are aware of who our current leaders are, but they are not recognizable. And we feel that our community is being left behind when it comes to issues that affect our positive growth.
