How did we do?
- The Fair Districts Coalition Racial Equity Congressional map succeeded at centering racial equity and fairly representing residents of New Jersey.
-
The certified 2022 Congressional map made some improvements in centering racial equity:
- People of color have greater influence in 4 additional districts compared to the current map. (CD 2, 3, 5, 11)
-
However, did not go as far as we would like in other areas:
- Only 5 districts are majority people of color, the same as it is in the current map. (CD 6, 8, 9, 10, 12)
- There are no Asian influence districts, the same as it is in the current map.
-
More concerningly, it went backwards in one specific area:
- It eliminated a Hispanic VAP majority district (CD 8).
