Johnson County Gains in Second Redistricting Plan
Iowa Governor Robert Ray said moving Johnson County to the 2nd district is more acceptable than the Linn-Scott swap. The Legislative Service Bureau released a second reapportionment plan that shifts Johnson from the 1st to the 2nd district, aims for compact districts, and ends dangling townships. Ray noted the plan’s potential partisan effects are unclear and urged input before conclusions, with a public hearing set for June 17 and a special session starting June 24.
