Common Cause/NY To Release Proposed Congressional Maps, Files with Steuben County Court

Group calls for constitutional amendment for citizen led redistricting

NEW YORK, NY (04/29/2022) (readMedia)-- On Tuesday, Common Cause/NY will release its own congressional maps to the public and seek leave to file them officially with the Steuben County Supreme Court. At a virtual press conference, Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause/NY will walk reporters through the maps, and answer questions from press about the redistricting process.

In 2011, Common Cause New York released the only set of non-partisan redistricting maps for both the state legislature and Congress, which were seen as fair and viable alternatives to the legislature's official proposals. Ultimately, some of Common Cause/NY's congressional districts were used as templates for the final Congressional map drawn by the previous Special Master, Nate Persily.
