Part A: 10, 20-23, 25-26, 35-51, 58-62, 68

Question: Who draws the district lines?
It's normal for district lines to change. The principle of representative democracy is that every person should have the same amount of representation, which means that each representative should represent the same number of voters. As of 2026, Each New York State Assembly member represents approximately 135,000 residents.

The current assembly district lines have been in effect since the 2024 election cycle.
The process for dividing each assembly district into two parts is done by the Queens County Democratic Party. Historically, it has been used to entrench incumbents. It is not a transparent process, which is one of the things that Melissa San Pedro and Christopher Hanusa want to change.
