Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney vying for the same seat.The release of new congressional maps drawn by a special master has resulted in Reps.

Cervas’ proposal – which will be subject to public comment through Wednesday before they’re finalized Friday – made major changes to the Democrat-drawn map, leaving candidates to quickly find a home district they feel they could best win in.
