My New Congressional District
The black outline shows the old District 10. Now that area is divided onto 3 districts.
The little black dot in a green tendril of the new District 10 is where I live. I buy groceries in District 21, just like people in San Antonio do. And when I rent a DVD, I go to District 25 which includes McAllen on the Mexican border.
So, last year, someone looked at a map of my neighborhood and saw that 65% of my neighbors voted for Democrats. Then they drew a line from here to Houston. The district is so Republican that the Democrats didn’t even run a candidate.
If you live in the new District 10, be sure to write this fellow in when you vote.
The new (1.6mb pdf) and old (1.6mb pdf) maps can be found here.
