Redistricting Plan

This map aims to minimize the number of county and city splits in Minnesota's 8 (maintained) congressional districts while providing fair, balanced partisan representation. This plan reduces the number of county divisions from 9 to 6, and reduces the number of city/town divisions to just 8. This map also proposes adjoining St. Paul and most of Minneapolis together into the 5th congressional district to form one central urban Twin Cities district. Other changes include making the 2nd district centered more in the Twin Cities Metro area, placing Rochester in the 1st congressional district, and moving the 6th congressional district further west. This plan is predicted to elect four Republican and three Democratic representatives, with only one swing district that leans Democratic.
