Richard Elsner, chairman of the Park County Republicans, said his county is divided, with the Bailey portion in the 6th CD and the rest of the county in the 5th CD — and that's just fine with him.
Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, a committee co-chair, said Elsner is the first witness to ask that his county remain split.
Elsner did say the boundary should be moved though, from the Bailey area to Kenosha Pass.
"Where they drew the line last time is not a good line," he said.
That sentiment was echoed by the Park County Democratic chairwoman, Sheila Canfield Jones, and her solidarity with her GOP counterpart drew laughter and praise.
"Park County is the Kumbaya County of Colorado," said Rep. David Balmer, R-Centennial, the other redistricting co chair.
