Dems get minor boost in new proposed NY congressional map
New York’s new, long-awaited congressional map may end up looking a lot like the current map — unless Democratic state lawmakers decide to push their luck.
“We plan to discuss and decide our subsequent actions soon,” said Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Democrat from Yonkers. The Democratic chair of the redistricting commission is Ken Jenkins, Latimer’s deputy county executive. Jenkins said he and Latimer only spoke of the commission’s process, not about the substance of the maps.
The Democrat-drawn map heavily favored Democratic candidates, with President Joe Biden winning 22 of the 26 districts. Republicans sued and won, successfully arguing Democrats unconstitutionally gerrymandered the map and didn’t follow the proper process.
