"New York State Democrats Reject Bipartisan Congressional Map, Opt for Own Redistricting"
TL;DR Summary
The New York state legislature has introduced a bill proposing new congressional district lines, which would extend Rep. Tom Suozzi’s district into Suffolk County and move Co-Op City into Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s district. The proposed bill overrules existing state law and could impact an upcoming Democratic primary. This comes after lawmakers rejected the bipartisan proposal from the Independent Redistricting Commission, prompting the Legislature to draw their own lines following previous legal battles over redistricting.
