Redistricting
I am a member of the Minneapolis Redistricting Group*, which will be redrawing the boundaries for the City Council wards and Park Board districts using data from the 2020 Census. Read on to learn more about redistricting in Minneapolis.
Introduction
Basic Information about the redistricting process can be found on the City's website:

Where can I find more information about the redistricting process?
This MinnPost article gives a good summary of the process.
I was interviewed (and photographed!) for this Sahan Journal article about halfway through the process.
