After six months, 20 public hearings, and hundreds of residents testifying, the Joint Committee
on Redistricting has released its proposed new maps, and Fall River is no longer divided.

Senator
Will Brownsberger and State Representative Mike Moran, Redistricting Committee CoChairs, led a transparent, thoughtful congressional redistricting process.

There were 20 hearings, where residents and communities weighed in, and the committee heard
repeatedly that Fall River is best represented as a unified city.

After two decades of waiting, this map honors that imperative. Fall River will be the biggest city
in the Massachusetts Fourth and will no longer stand in any community's shadow or be second to
another community's needs — it will stand as its own city, not as part of a region, and will be
front and center for its US Representative to champion.

The current congressman, Jake Auchincloss, has already built strong relationships here and
advocated effectively for funding for Fall River's water infrastructure, urban renewal, and public
safety. He has been visible in our city, and he has delivered quality constituent services.

As we have successfully advocated in bringing wind energy to the South Coast, South Coast Rail
to fruition along with our developing waterfronts and the blue economy among other projects,
we are best served to continue to work with our neighboring South Coast communities with the
strength of two strong congressional voices.

We are excited for all of Fall River to be in the MA-4.
