Dear Voter:
When you voted to approve Single Member Districts, were you confused? County Commissioners believe you were.

"I’m still waiting for that [one] person [to say he or she is happy about the election system], and I’m never going to meet that person, ’cause they can’t possibly be happy” about having a single vote for representation on the County Commission. Sarasota News Leader
One of the many citizens who worked to change Sarasota's election structure thinks the Board might be confused:
"The people who voted for single member districts in 2018 understood the issue exactly and voted to elect their own commissioner and not have their vote for their own commissioner diluted by 80% of voters all over the county," [Kindra] Muntz said.
"If county commissioners don’t think the voters know what they are doing, maybe they would be so kind as to resign and call for a new election now." Herald Tribune
Perhaps you'd like to let the Charter Review Board know how you feel. At the request of Mr. Maio that Board will discuss this on May 19th.
Their email addresses are below. Offer your thoughts, or if you prefer, just send them a brief message like this:
To the Charter Review Board:
I'm happy with Single Member Districts.
I was not confused in 2018.
Perhaps certain elected officials are confused now.
I'll be paying close attention to your May 19th discussion of Single Member Districts.
Thank you.
