Money, Power, & Redistricting

Since everybody is interested in redistricting and checking out my maps, I thought, lets throw in another interesting one. Everyone knows there is a link between political power and money. So check out what it looks like here. 4 council members live in district 5, out of the 6 white council members. Does it not seem crazy to you that a city that is 29% white, 6 out of 13 council seats go to white folks?

You may be wondering why I chose these council members' donors. I'm not picking on them. I just wanted to show that even in a city that is predominantly black, white republicans' political interests are still well represented, especially for folks in Bartlett, Germantown, Arlington, and Collierville.
