15. And we need to include gerrymandering as voter suppression.

As someone who lives in a gerrymandered district that has no chance of electing a Democrat who would represent my views, my vote is suppressed. My House representative, Roger Williams, refuses to meet with citizens or hold Town Halls and has publicly stated that he represents only the Republicans in the district.

Business needs to support the nonpartisan drawing of districts that do not benefit either party.
