## Key points

- Hochul is still weighing mid-decade redistricting.
- Democrats hold 20 of New York’s 26 House seats.
- A constitutional amendment could change map-making rules.

## Summary

New York Governor Kathy Hochul says she is still considering Democrats’ proposal to redraw the state’s congressional districts midway through the decade. The proposal could give Democrats an electoral advantage, and Hochul says she is looking beyond the party’s recent wins because future elections may produce a different result.

The push followed Texas’s 2025 redistricting effort and a wider contest in which nine states adopted new House districts before the midterms. New York’s constitution currently bans partisan gerrymandering; a proposed amendment would remove that ban and let a simple legislative majority override the bipartisan redistricting commission. Democrats hold 20 of the state’s 26 congressional seats, and will have 47 of 63 state Senate seats and 111 of 150 Assembly seats from January.
