2021 Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission set to convene




Further details to follow, but for now, information I have received from Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' office is that the initial meeting of the AIRC will take place at 11am, January 14, 2021. (It's not official until 48 hour official notice and agenda is posted).

The primary (sole?) purpose of this meeting is for the four commissioners -- already appointed by Minority Leaders as well as the Senate President and Speaker of the House of the Arizona Legislature -- to confer and vote on which of the five people on the list of unaffiliated voters to choose to be the chair for the next ten years.

The four new commissioners are Democrats Derrick Watchman (Apache County) and Shereen Lerner (Maricopa) as well as Republicans Douglas York (Maricopa) and David Mehl (Pima).

The five names on the short list (registered Independent) for chair are:

Gregory Teesdale (Pima)

Megan Carollo (Maricopa)

Erika Neuberg, Ph.D. (Maricopa)

Thomas Loquvam (Maricopa)

Robert Wilson (Coconino)
