If we want fair representation, we can't let the extreme right be the only voices in the room! Progressive Oklahomans need a voice in the redistricting process. That's why Oklahoma Progress Now is launching our own Map Drawing Contest. Any progressive Oklahoman is welcome to enter their own map into our contest. Then, our members and supporters will have a chance to vote on which map they want us to submit to Oklahoma's redistricting committee. After we pick a winner, we'll work together to make sure lawmakers know what fair representation looks like.
To enter your map, please list one URL for each map you have created (State House, State Senate, and/or US Congress) in the textbox. Please also include a short statement that summarizes the values/criteria that you prioritized while drawing your maps in that same textbox.
