Arizona’s representation in [highlight=yellow]the U.S. House of Representatives is likely to shift to a Republican majority [/highlight]after the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission unanimously approved a transformative, GOP-leaning congressional map Wednesday.
After a full day of discussion and arguments, the commissioners also approved a Republican-leaning but balanced map for districts in the Legislature in a contentious 3-2 vote.
Arizona’s current congressional delegation is made up of five Democrats and four Republicans. The new map,[highlight=yellow] should it withstand legal challenges, favors Republicans in five — and possibly six — of the state’s nine districts.[/highlight]
The five-member commission approved the map with a 5-0 vote, which Douglas York attributed to the effort of independent Chair Erika Neuberg, who called the map a “sweet spot for all sides to be well-positioned.”
