Policy Watch - Fixing Broken Redistricting Practices: The Importance of Competitive Elections

Redrawing electoral districts to give one political party an electoral advantage diminishes the competitiveness of U.S. elections. Moreover, partisan redistricting dilutes the voice of businesses and the communities they represent. It may also contribute to political polarization, making it more difficult to pass bipartisan economic policies.

Join our panel of policy experts as we address: 

  • Why the broken redistricting process can hurt a region's economic climate
  • Solutions for achieving fair, sensible elections; and 
  • The prospects for reform in the year ahead

In this webcast, you will learn why competitive elections are necessary for a thriving, competitive economy and be provided with sensible solutions to fix our broken redistricting practices.

Who Should Attend: This webcast will appeal to those with an interest in how public policy impacts their business, including those in government relations, or strategy officers, corporate secretaries, and chief financial officers.
