*New Mexico’s Citizen Redistricting Committee – A comparison with similar
models With Peter Wattson & Former NM Supreme Court Judge Edward Chavez*

Justice Chavez will give a brief summary of the New Mexico Citizen
Redistricting Committee created by SB304. Mr. Wattson will discuss other
states with redistricting models similar to the Citizen Redistricting
Committee (CRC). He will also give advice on what we can do to prepare even
before the CRC starts. They will take questions as they arise.

served as Senate Counsel to the Minnesota Senate from 1971 to 2011 and as
General Counsel to Governor Mark Dayton from January to June 2011. He

throughout that time. He served as Staff Chair of the National Conference
of State Legislatures’ (NCSL) Reapportionment Task Force in 1989, its
Redistricting Task Force in 1999, and its Committee on Redistricting and
Elections in 2009. Since retiring in 2011, he has participated in
redistricting lawsuits in Arkansas, Kentucky, and Florida, and lectured
regularly at NCSL seminars on redistricting.
