David Thornburgh

David Bradford Thornburgh is senior advisor and former president and CEO of the Committee of Seventy, an independent government reform group in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2016, he took on partisan gerrymandering in PA as the co-founder of the Draw the Lines project. Draw the Lines enlisted over 7,000 Pennsylvanians in drawing new Congressional maps to make it clear that the redistricting process should be open and transparent. The Citizens' Map drawn with date from those individual maps was one of the final set of maps considered by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and was recognized for its creative and extensive use of citizen input.
