Localism

Strongly agree

Yes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting

Localism seeks to promote community-based decision-making and representation. Gerrymandering, which gives an unfair advantage to the party in power, undermines the principles of localism by allowing larger political parties to manipulate district boundaries for their benefit, rather than focusing on the needs and interests of local communities.

Agree

Yes

Localism supports the idea of decentralization and community-based decision-making. While an independent, non-partisan commission is not inherently localist, it does remove the influence of larger political parties, which can be seen as a positive step towards more localized representation.

Agree

Yes, switch to a multi-member, proportionally selected redistricting system

While not inherently localist, a multi-member, proportionally selected redistricting system could potentially lead to more localized representation by allowing for a greater diversity of voices and interests to be represented within a district. This approach could be seen as a step towards decentralization and community-based decision-making, which are key principles of localism.

Disagree

No

Localism generally opposes centralized control and the influence of larger political parties. Allowing the redrawing of Congressional districts to be controlled by partisan entities would likely lead to gerrymandering and less localized representation, which goes against the principles of localism.

Strongly disagree

No, there is no better alternative

Localism is about empowering local communities and reducing the influence of larger political parties. Claiming that there is no better alternative to partisan control of redistricting goes against the principles of localism, as it implies that the current system, which often leads to gerrymandering, is the best option.

Very strongly disagree

No, gerrymandering allows officials to more effectively represent the interests of their constituency

This answer directly contradicts the principles of localism. Gerrymandering is a tool used by larger political parties to manipulate district boundaries for their benefit, rather than focusing on the needs and interests of local communities. Localism seeks to promote community-based decision-making and representation, which is undermined by gerrymandering.
