SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Ben McAdams, D-Salt Lake City, and Rep. Ken Sumsion, R-American Fork, are among scheduled speakers for a discussion about Utah's redistricting process at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Salt Lake City Main Library, 210 E. 400 South.
Tim Chambless, associate professor of political science at the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics, will moderate the public discussion. Maryann Martindale, executive director of Alliance for a Better UTAH, also is scheduled to speak during the event.
Every 10 years, state lawmakers meet to redraw congressional, legislative and State School Board boundaries to reflect population shifts. The 2010 Census gave Utah a fourth seat in Congress.
Sumsion is chairman of the 2011 Redistricting Committee; McAdams is a member of that committee. The event is free.
