The newly proposed congressional map drawn by a court-appointed 'special master' is creating an unexpected, high profile primary between D.C.-institutions and committee chairs Carolyn Maloney and Jerry Nadler.
The release of new congressional maps drawn by a special master has resulted in Reps. 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. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney vying for the same seat.Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Jerry Nadler are political institutions in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., having climbed the ranks to become influential committee chairs during their respective 30-year tenures in the U.
It left some lawmakers furious, including Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of Brooklyn, whose home is now in the same proposed district as Yvette Clarke, a fellow Black lawmaker. In a statement, Jeffries said the proposed districts are “part of a vicious national pattern targeting districts represented by members of the Congressional Black Caucus.”New York’s new congressional map was drawn by Jonathan Cervas
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. Much of his work appeared aimed at making districts more contiguous.
The maps made clear Cervas paid no mind to the home addresses of incumbent lawmakers. That left Jeffries and Clarke in the same district, as well as Nadler and Maloney, both Manhattan Democrats.
