New York State doesn't have non-partisan redistricting, and we're scheduled to lose two seats. Add to that, a new law restore the "residence" of incarcerated prisoners (many prisons are upstate) to their last residence before the conviction, which in many case in New York City.

Given a Republican Senate and Democratic Assembly, its likely that a deal will be cut to drop one Republican and one Democrat, and Kathy is unfortunately on the bottom of the totem pole unless someone's willing to retire.

I certainly wish her the very best in Congress, and in representing the 26th better than they've had it for a long, LONG time.
