District 44 will change, but everyone will still be represented
Thursday, September 23, 2021
The legislature has been meeting in special session since September 13th for the purpose of redistricting six government entities. During the redistricting process we know the 44th legislative district is going to change. There is not enough population in the 10 counties that make up the 44th district and therefore it does not meet the threshold of minimum population. The current boundaries have a base population of 36,000 people per district. With the growth in Nebraska in the past 10 years, the 49 districts need to have roughly 40,000 people within each district.
