Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.) said on Tuesday that New York’s legislature should make sure that a state constitutional amendment enabling mid-decade redistricting gets its first passage before lawmakers adjourn the first week of June.
Dispatched to Albany on May 5 by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Morelle laid out the timeline at a press conference after meeting with Democratic leadership in the state, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, state Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris, and state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie.
