Whitehall Woman on Amanda Holt, Redistricting

Lois Held writes in Thursday's Post-Gazette.

Amanda Holt, a 29-year-old music teacher and graphic artist from eastern Pennsylvania, has received quite a bit of praise and fame recently for state House and Senate redistricting maps that she drew after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out  by Pennsylvania's five-member Legislative Reapportionment Commission.

Lois Held, of , is one of the latest folks to commend Holt's maps, which Held calls, in a Feb. 16 letter to the editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "fair and unbiased reapportionment."

"Ms. Holt should run for office," Held continues. "Thank you, Ms. Holt, for your initiative to tackle an enormous, important job, which our biased representatives were not able to handle."
