State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi was planning to run for Congress’ third district, but with the newly drawn redistricting maps, Westchester and the Bronx are no longer included in it, putting the state lawmaker a waterway away from the district.
The state lawmaker now plans to challenge U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney to represent the 17th Congressional District, which represents northern Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and southern Dutchess counties, in the Hudson Valley. Biaggi lives in southern Westchester County’s Pelham, in District 16.
