Dallas Redistricting Commission advances final map to mayor, City Council

Map 41-B.

The Dallas Redistricting Commission has selected a final map to send to the mayor.

After hours of public comment, deliberations about amendments and discussion among the commissioners, map 41-B was selected to present to the mayor as the recommended plan. The vote to approve the map was 9-6, and the vote to move the map to the mayor was 10-5. The District 11 and District 13 commissioners both voted to approve and forward the map.

The other map in consideration was map 17-B, which included amendments to map 17-A.

Map 41 was originally submitted by East Dallas residents Melanie Vanlandingham and Darren Dattalo.

District 11 and District 13 remained largely unchanged from map 41-A.
