Around this time last year, the town of Conway discussed at our deliberative session a resolution I introduced calling for the state to create an independent redistricting committee to draw the district maps for everything from Congress down to the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

Historically, the political party with the majority of the Legislature has drawn those maps in order to maintain its grip on power. This goes back 200-plus years and in other states has been done by all parties.
