A proposed version of New York's new congressional map could set up several incumbent vs. incumbent primaries, potentially pitting veteran Democratic lawmakers against each other
The proposal, unveiled on Monday from a court-appointed special master, is a first draft. Finalization of the map, which won't happen until after a public comment period, is expected Friday. The map as drawn would likely create 15 Democratic-leaning seats, five that lean Republican and six that are more competitive. New York will have 26 congressional districts after losing a seat due to slower population growth over the last decade. Democrats won 19 of the state's districts in 2020.
Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, has said he'd run in the new 17th Congressional District, which is currently represented by Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones. Jones' home would be placed in the same district as first-term Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman. Democratic Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, and Yvette Clarke could end up in the same Brooklyn-based district.
