New York's court-appointed special master unveiled a congressional map proposal that would wipe out Democratic gains in the Empire State and make apportionment far more competitive than a prior enacted map.
If enacted, the map proposed Monday would likely result in a 15-5 Democrat-Republican split, with six seats being competitive — a significant dip from the likely 22-4 majority Democrats previously procured that had been struck down by a state court in late March."The new NY map proposed by court-appointed special master Jonathan Cervas leans into competitiveness," Dave Wasserman, a national elections analyst for Cook Political Report, tweeted.
Already, some Democrats have adjusted reelection plans in anticipation of the map becoming law. For example, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who represents the state's 18th Congressional District northwest of New York City, announced plans to run in the 17th Congressional District, sending him on a likely collision course with Rep. Mondaire Jones, who is widely considered a more progressive legislator.
The map announcement also prompted Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan to enter the race for Maloney's vacated seat in the 18th Congressional District. New statement from Rep. Jerry Nader says he will run in the newly configured NY12. That could pit him against fellow longtime Dem committee leader, Carolyn Maloney. pic.twitter.com/5xouCzJZn5
