Wednesday night, the South Carolina Senate held a redistricting public hearing in Florence.

About 100 people attended the hearing at Florence Darlington Technical College.

Seven senators served on the panel including Senator Gerald Malloy of Hartsville.

The senators comprise the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee which will draw the new Senate and U.S. congressional districts.

They received a lot of feedback from residents who want to make sure Florence County isn't left out in the redistricting process.

Florence resident Bill Pickle told the senators, "We got the highways, we got the medical facilities that anyone will die for. No pun intended and we got everything you need."

Residents from other Pee Dee counties and municipalities voiced their concerns as well.
