Glynn Dems Community Meeting – Recap

The Glynn Dems kicked  2026 off with a Civics education series.

The first session was held on January 26, 2026 at 6:30PM

Beverages and light refreshments were served.

 

This months presentation touched on the separation of powers as well as how representation is determined. Did you know that the US Congress was capped at 435 Representative in 1929? Before that more were added after each census. Representation went from 1 congressman for every 300k citizens to 1 congressman for every 750k+.

Here are the details of the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929:
