as a rhode islander, it's easy for me. after all, our state motto is hope, hope that led my parents to come from west africa, my dad from ghana and my mom from liberia to pursue opportunity in the greatest country in the world. but this is not just my story. it's a rhode island story, it's an american story, and that shared story is why today i am proud to be the representative from rhode island's first congressional district. and what is beautiful about hope is it cares not about your race, your religion, your gender, or where your ancestors came from. this belief has inspired people who arrived in rhode island from italy and ireland, portugal and france, the dominican republic, haiti, columbia, armenia, and countries in west africa and so many places in between. and i of course must acknowledge those whose family branches extend from the native tribes of our shores to the settlers who came for religious freedom to those who did not choose their journey because they were enslaved people but whose hope persisted nonetheles

that island is very interesting. you have areas of oshkosh. you can dissolve those islands. you can also create a municipal split. how do you want to get to why we shouldn't even get to the remedy. i would like the opportunity to address the constitution. i want an opportunity to respond to the history. i think we have the better of the history. the text of the constitution has two closets. when you go to redistrict, you don't just go online willy-nilly through dane county or brown county. you pick a town or award or a city and you say i want that town. this is these are the building blocks of redistricting. counties, towns and wards. you say i would like the town of madison, the town of middleton and that it takes you to the next step. what if the town of middleton is too strong -- small. you have to combine it with something else. if you look at middleton, if you look at 88 in middleton and look at the text, the weighted redistricting is different, it says i want to hold on middleton in the town of verona and i am forgetting it, it is adding another 10 to the west. the tow
