OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SPEAKER OF THE SENATE Dear Friend, Today I announced the online release of Tennessee’s new state Senate district map with streetlevel detail. The release is an unprecedented step in the history of redistricting in Tennessee and gives the general public access to the same information as county election officials. The first Republican redistricting process was not just fair and legal it was also open and honest. Technology has given us the opportunity to distribute information quickly, efficiently and with little cost to the taxpayer. The new districts belong to Tennessee citizens so it was important for us to make the new maps available to you as soon as possible. Using Google’s publicly available Maps application, the Office of Legislative Information Services has created a map that displays Tennessee’s new redistricting data in a clean, detailed and easytouse fashion. Citizens like yourself now have the ability to find your own district as well as explore districts statewide. This year’s redistricting has been the most open, interactive and transparent redistricting process in Tennessee history. Our unified Republican Majority opened the redistricting process, soliciting map proposals from the general public. Any Tennessean with access to a computer and an internet connection had the ability to participate in the redistricting process. I'm proud of what we have accomplished. Please check out the new maps online at http://www.capitol.tn.gov/districtmaps/redist.html. Sincerely,
Ronald L. Ramsey Lieutenant Governor Speaker of the Senate 1 Legislative Plaza Nashville, TN 37243 (615) 7414524
