What is redistricting?

How will it affect voting in Arizona?

Data from the 2010 census provides insight about the evolving Arizona population. This information will be used by the Independent Redistricting Commission to administer the Congressional and Legislative districts for the State of Arizona. Professor Jennifer Steen from Arizona State University will discuss the process of redistricting and its potential impact on Arizona politics at both the state and national level.

Jennifer Steen is assistant professor of Political Science at Arizona State University. Previously, Professor Steen was on the faculty at Boston College and Yale University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.

A former political consultant, Steen's theoretical and empirical work on the American electoral process is complemented by her background in the rough-and-tumble world of political campaigns. Prior to pursuing her doctorate, Steen worked for candidates in local, state and federal elections. Professor Steen was also active in party politics, serving as a county precinct captain, national convention delegate and member of the Electoral College.
