U.S. Magistrate Judge Roanne Mann released a draft plan for new congressional districts in New York and set a deadline of 9 a.m. Wednesday for public comment on her plan.
Mann released the plan after receiving and reviewing proposals from both houses of the New York Legislature, Common Cause and others.
The draft puts Genesee County in the middle of a redrawn NY-27 district, moving the NY-26 to cover just Buffalo.
The largely rural district includes parts of Erie County, most of Niagara and just a bit of Monroe County and stretches into Ontario County. All of Orleans and Wyoming counties are included in the plan.
Presumably, Rep. Kathy Hochul would be the Democratic candidate for the NY-27 and Rep. Brian Higgins would run in the new NY-26.
