Redisricting Plans
Could Give Indians
3 Seats in Senate
By John Robertson
JOURNAL POLITICS WRITER
GALLUP ? Indians could win as
many as three state Senate seats
under redistricting proposals pre
sented Friday to a legislative com
mittee.
Two of the northwestern New
Mexico Senate seats would have
Navajo majority populations, while
a third might combine Ravajos with
pueblo Indians in Sandoval County,
said Brian Sanderoff, a consultant
to the Legislature's interim Reap
portionment and Redistricting
Committee.
"This is an aggressive plan," San
deroff told legislators and an audi
ence of about 40 people during a
committee hearing at John F. Ken
nedy Middle School in Gallup.
"The attempt (of the proposal) is-,
to create1 three Native American
seats," Sanderoff said.
Other proposals also are before
the committee. While all wouldn't
result in three Indian state Senate
seats, most are attempts to increase
Indian representation. The propos
als, or redistricting options, are
being reviewed by the committee in
advance of the Legislature's formal
redistricting session this falL
There ,'is now only one Indian
member of the 42-member state
Senate, John Pinto, D-Tohatchi, a
Navajo.
Testimony Thursday during the
committee's hearings in Shiprock
and Farmington indicated that one
additional Indian Senate seat could
be created in the northwestern part
of the state.
However, a redistricting option
explained Friday by Sanderoff
made it clear that three northwest
ern Senate districts ? including
Pinto's ? could have substantial
Indian population majorities, each
of them conducive to the election of
an Indian senator. While two cur
rent northwestern Senate districts
have Indian population majorities,
only P)nto's,hlas a history of electing
at| Indian senator.
Under Sanderoffs House redis
tricting proposals, Indians also
might be able to gain an additional
House scat.
Four Navajos and one Jema
Pueblo Indian' now serve in the
70-member House.
The Legislature was successfully
sued over iu redisricting effort ;
after the 1980 census, partly over
issues of Indian representation. A
federal court ruled that Indians la
the . northwestern area of the stats
were being shortchanged in repre
sentation in the state House
' Following the Legislature's redis
tricting of Senate and House seats
this year, on the'basis of the 1990 .
census, the plans mutt be submitted
to the U.S. Department of Justice
for review. The review will be
conducted to ensure that minority
voting strengths are not diluted.
Expansion of Indian representa
tion in the Legislature was the
dominant theme during redistrict-''
ing committee! hearings Thursday. '
and Friday in San Juan and MrXta.
ley' counties.'
While plans prepared by the com
mittee's consultants would increase
the probable number of Indian leg
islative seats, some of those propos
als could also threaten the political
survival of non-Indian incumbents
In order to maximize potential
Indian representation, some of the
proposals would expand Indian
country legislative districts into
areas now represented by non
Indians
That expansion could mean that ;
some non-Indian incumbent legisla- ?
tort from the northwestern part of
the ttate will find themselves seek- ;
ing re-election in substantially -
altered and unfamiliar districts in I
1992 elections
Meanwhile, it will be incumbent ~
legislators who will be drawing the
new Senate and House district lines
when the special redistricting ses- -
sion convenes this fall
Another issue that may emerge in :
connection with expansion of Indian -
representation is the splitting of ?'
communities such as Farmington, \
Gallup, Grants and Los Alamos c
among different legislative die- -1;
tricts.
Such splifsliavebeen proposed in v
order to create more Indian legisla
tive districts \
