 Redistricting maps were issued on February 21st and we now know that we will become Senate District 49. All 30 of our current precincts (20 in Edina and 10 in West Bloomington) are part of the new Senate District 49. In addition we will pick up 4 new precincts – two full precincts (Bloomington 25 and Eden Prairie 8) and two partial districts (Minnetonka Ward 1 Precincts B and C).
The line between House District 49A (Rep. Keith Downey’s district) and 49B (Rep. Pat Mazorol’s district) has changed slightly. The line between the two actually splits five precincts in southern Edina – precincts 10, 12, 13, 15, and 17. A portion of each of these precincts is in 49A and a portion in 49B. Rep. Mazorol also has all 10 of the former SD 41 precincts in West Bloomington plus the four new precincts. Senator Geoff Michel’s district covers all of the new 49A and 49B.
The other change has to do with Congressional Districts. The five precincts in the northeast quadrant of Edina (precincts 3,4,8,9, and 14) are back in the Fifth Congressional District like they were in the 1990’s. All the rest of the precincts in SD49 remain in the Third Congressional District.
SD49 will hold its Convention on Saturday, March 24 at Valley View Middle School. At that convention we will elect delegates and alternates to the Third and Fifth Congressional District conventions (both to be held on April 14) and the State Convention to be held in St. Cloud on May 18 and 19. In addition delegates and alternates to State Central will be elected. New bylaws will be approved and an all-new Executive Committee will be elected. Convention calls will be going out soon to those elected delegates and alternates at the recent caucuses.
