New Massachusetts Congressional Map Released; Medfield to Change Districts
Redrawn congressional map puts U.S Reps. William Keating and Stephen Lynch in same district; Medfield to be represented by Barney Frank again in 4th Congressional District.
The Legislature’s Redistricting Committee released the proposed new congressional district map Monday afternoon.
The redrawn map would put U.S Reps. Stephen Lynch of South Boston and William Keating of Quincy in the same 8th Congressional District. Medfield will move from Lynch's 9th Congressional District to Barney Frank's 4th District, according to the proposed plan.
According to the Boston Globe, the draft Congressional redistricting plan would also create a new seat in the incumbent-free district based in southeastern Massachusetts stretching from the Cape and Islands across Plymouth and Bristol County to Fall River.
