New York’s highest court threw out the state's congressional lines.
All of New York’s congressional districts, including ours, must be redrawn. That means, with just a few months until Election Day, we have no idea where Alexandria is running for reelection, or who she’s running against.
It could be months before the new districts are finalized, which means our campaign will have just a few short weeks to reach voters in Alexandria’s new district before our June primary. A new challenger with huge resources could come up out of nowhere to take advantage of the chaos.
We have to be ready for anything, and we need to get ready now.
This is the second time in two years that the district lines have been redrawn in New York. That’s extremely confusing to voters. Lots of people still don’t know who their new Member of Congress is. We are going to have to spend extra resources on voter education to make sure people know to get to the polls.
This issue is also bigger than just New York. When the lines changed last year, Republicans won four House seats — and that was the difference between Democrats or Republicans controlling Congress.
