Early Analysis: Impact of Redistricting in San Diego County
New faces, new districts, and more competition
Guest Commentary
by Ron Nehring
Let’s take a quick look at the draft Assembly, State Senate and Congressional district maps in San Diego County. While these drafts may change in the weeks ahead, they give us good insight into the direction things are moving, and therefore, who’s likely to gain, and whose jobs have become more difficult. Demographic and election performance data is forthcoming, and may influence the analysis. With the information available now, this is what we have:
Oh Doctor! Overnight the State Redistricting Commission posted their June 7th revised maps, and voila, a no-incumbent Republican congressional seat appears! (Susan Davis is in the “blue” district. Other incumbents are to the North, East and South.) The “new” district has Rancho Bernardo, Point Loma, Penasquitos, La Jolla, Mira Mesa, Clairemont, Bay Park, Scripps Ranch and the City of Poway. This district, if adopted, is a lock to elect a Republican member of Congress next November.
So what are you waiting for, Poway Roger? Opportunity is knocking, and loudly no less!
