STATEMENT OF STATE REPRESENTATIVE ROBERTA WILLIS
RE: REDISTRICTING

“I look forward to represent and work in behalf of all the residents who reside in a new re-drawn 64th Assembly District. The legislature’s redistricting committee has made its decision and has approved the new legislative map for 151 state House districts which includes our 64th Assembly District. The committee members faced a daunting task and I congratulate them for their effort to make the necessary changes to reflect the 2010 census.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all the voters I have represented who no longer will be located within the reconfigured 64th Assembly District. It has been an honor to serve you. Change is never easy, but it is inevitable. Looking ahead, I am pleased to be able to represent all the constituents who remain in the 64th Assembly District.

If I am fortunate enough to be re-elected, I will welcome the opportunity to represent the towns of Kent, Norfolk, Canaan and Falls Village. Your views and ideas are important to me so that we can work together to continue to improve the quality of life in our region of the state.”

Rep. Willis is House Chair of the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee and serves on the Environment and Appropriations Committees.
