Dear Commissioners, Below is a link to a map and data on Dave's Redistricting app. I read an article that the commission was deadlocked, for lack of a better term, and created two separate draft maps. The map below is a little different from both of the maps published by the commission. Perhaps it will give you some ideas that can help you work toward a compromise, or not. In any case, it wasn't that difficult to create, I've already done it, I might as well share it. While it is different, there are some similarities to the Rep. map, at least, outside NYC. There is a Pa border district, a Vermont border district, and a Mass/Conn border district. Of course, the Rochester district is similar to both maps. As far as NYC goes, this map may, or may not have similarities to both maps. It's hard for me to tell. It is certainly different, in some ways, from the current map. That said, there doesn't appear to be too much disruption to the current incumbents. Of course, there is some, and given the fact the NY is losing a district that's to be expected, I suppose. As near as I can tell, Rice and Suozzi might be in the same district the way I have it drawn, as is Maloney and Delgado. Higgins and Jacobs are also in the same district the way I have it drawn, but that is easily corrected by making a Buffalo centric district as both of your maps have. If you were to do that, my recommendation would be that Western NY look more like the Dem map. In addition to tweaking the 23rd and 24th, as I have them drawn, a little tweaking to the 19th, 20th, and 21st, might make it a little more palatable to the powers that be. As for me, I have no political affiliation, I'm not even a resident of New York. I just have an interest in redistricting, in general, and I was a professional numbers cruncher, and the app was available to play around with. So, I have no bias one way or the other. The only criteria I used for this was geography and population. That's it. Is it perfect? Of course not, no plan is. But, maybe, it will give you a couple ideas to move forward. Good Luck! https://davesredistricting.org/join/ebf6a85b-f147-4c1c-830a-894066c5918f

Map for the 11 Upstate Congressional Districts that intentionally disfavors several incumbent Republicans, just to show that this can be done without dividing counties. (I still prefer my previously-proposed map.)

Upstate districting for NY Senate, Westchester northward (reserving New Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Pelham and Scarsdale to be combined with a portion of the Bronx to make a complete district). The only differences between this and a prior map that I submitted is a rearrangement of Onondaga County towns. This moves Geddes out of the "core" of Onondaga County, exchanging them for 4 other towns with a similar combined population. This returns incumbent Sen. Jack Mannion (Geddes) into a separate district from Sen. Rachel May (Syracuse), while doing no significant harm to other goals. The only reason I had not done this earlier, is that I mistakenly thought Sens. Mannion and May both resided within the City of Syracuse, which I did not want to divide between districts. Once I realized that they are in separate jurisdictions within Onondaga County, it became a trivial matter to keep them in separate districts.

This is a fair New York congressional map I created using Dave's Redistricting. This map includes eleven majority-minority districts. This map holds nine competitive districts based on an average of recent statewide New York elections.

My name is Kiah Thomas and I've grown up in Port Chester all my life. And while growing up I've realized that my community is being held hostage by Republicans who don't care about the black and brown people in this community. We need people like Mondaire Jones fighting for us in Port Chester and Rye Brook and all the other communities he serves now. We cannot afford to lose his representation, our lives depend on it!

Attached please find advisory draft maps for communities of interest for New Yorkers of African descent in New York City, submitted by the Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College (CLSJ). These maps are not final; they are a work in progress and are submitted to provide guidance as CLSJ continues its work as part of the Unity Maps Coalition. Throughout the redistricting and mapping process, CLSJ will provide additional documents and submissions in order to assist in the development and analysis of district configurations and their resulting impact on communities of interest for New Yorkers of African descent.
