Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey Wednesday announced the release of the Senate’s first-ever Republican-drawn redistricting map. The plan was put together by the Senate’s Working Group on Redistricting with the assistance of the Office of Legal Services and is now available at the General Assembly’s website. This year’s redistricting has been the most open, interactive and transparent redistricting process in Tennessee history. By placing an unprecedented amount of information and data online for use by the general public, Lt. Governor Ramsey opened up the process to any Tennessean with access to a computer. There were no changes to the representatives of Cannon County, however 46th district representative Mark Pody will serve as representative to a little over 6,000 Dekalb County Representatives. State Senator Mae Beavers will also continue to represent Cannon County under the Republican drawn senate redistricting map.
