The Denver City Council approved a new map Tuesday night that will set council district boundaries for the next three city elections starting in 2023.
this February. Using 2020 U.S. Census data and precinct maps redrawn by the city clerk last year, councilmembers submitted six maps for public scrutiny. CdeBaca has been the most forceful voice against the map throughout the process. CdeBaca represents District 9, home to some of the city neighborhoods deemed most vulnerable to gentrification and economic displacement. She submitted a map, Map A, that would have grown District 9 to the east to absorb potions of Northeast Park Hill, another vulnerable neighborhood.
Her map was defeated at committee but she direct filed it to last week’s City Council agenda where it was defeated again. During the six community meetings held this year to gather input on the maps, Map A got the most first-place votes on preference surveys with 72. Map D came in second with 40.
