Florida’s Select House Committee on Congressional Redistricting held its first meeting on Dec. 4 for what chairman Rep. Mike Redondo called a “listening and learning session” about ”the building blocks of redistricting.”

“We’re going to be focusing on an educational and introductory scope, and therefore, we’re going to be highly focused on a few key elements of this process,” Redondo said to the 10 other committee members and the packed room of citizens.
