| (June 3, 2011, 5:47 p.m. UPDATED 9:27 p.m.) -- The CA Citizens Redistricting Commission released these maps below of Congressional districts as "Meeting Handouts" for its June 2 meeting.
The Commission's formal draft maps for Congressional, Assembly and state Senate districts aren't due for release until June 10, However, under these "meeting handout" maps, Long Beach would regain a basically unified Congressional district (which it had prior to the 2001 state legislature's Dem-majority drawn districts that erased the LB Congressional district held by Cong. Steve Horn).
UPDATE: In the meeting handout map, the Port of LB would be allocated to the LB Congressional district...while the Port of L.A. would be in a Carson-Compton-Inglewood district to the west.
The "meeting handout" Congressional district map would end the 2001 state legislative Dem majority's division of LB which split LB between a Carson-centered (Dem incumbent) Congressional district (about 80% of LB) and an OC-centered (Repub incumbent) district (that includes about 20% of LB).
(The new LB Congressional district is a bit different than Cong. Horn's old 38th district map; the new map swings further north instead of angling east toward Downey).
East Long Beach and coastal LB would no longer be in a northern OC district. OC would get a new coastline hugging Congressional district from basically the LA/OC line to Newport Beach, and another district slightly inland from Cypress through Fountain Valley, neither of which appear to cut into LB.
The Commission's draft maps for Congressional (and Assembly and state Senate districts) aren't due for release until June 10.
