Caribbean-American Democratic Congresswoman, Yvette D. Clarke on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the preliminary draft New York Congressional map that was released on Monday by a court-appointed, neutral special master tasked with redrawing New York’s Congressional and state Senate district maps.
The preliminary draft comes after a Steuben County judge ruled that the states originally submitted maps were unconstitutional.
Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, who represents the 9th Congressional District in Brooklyn, noted that, as an appointee of Judge Patrick McCalluster of Steuben County, Special Master Jonathan R. Cervas was tasked with drawing new congressional district boundaries in New York State that “reflect free and fair election rules, laws and statutes.”
