Stamford is a very unique city with one Congressman, 2 State Senators, and 6 State Representatives. Ever wonder WHY the city is split so many different ways?
Every decade the State Legislature appoints a bi-partisan Reapportionment Committee, made up of an equal number of democrats and republicans, to look at Connecticut’s population changes and make adjustments to the district borders to ensure that each resident is given proper representation.

Whether you have specific input on how Stamford should be divided amongst state and federal legislators, or if you are just curious and would like to see the process the Reapportionment Committee is using to make specific changes, this should be a great way to get a behind-the-scenes look at the 2011 Redistricting Project.
I hope you are having a great summer!
Best,
Michael Molgano
