I suspect there are members who would have loved to see this map over others presented. Great work! Brian, too bad you didn’t have that map available yesterday to present at the D caucus.

I have a program that does the rendering but I like this map better because the lines are cleaner. The Dem caucus isn't actually commissioning such a map, of course; it was a comment made in jest. The Rs in the legislature would never have adopted it and Democrats were not even allowed to speak on redistricting in the House, much less propose amendments. I think Ralph just liked the maps I produced for the Rocky II campaign (the public ones, not our proprietary internals which I'm also proud of). I expect to work on the Becker For Mayor campaign next year, too. Ed Mayne and Patrice Arent are both very big players and excellent campaigners. Mayne's labor connections are formidable, national and local. I'd take either one over any congressman we've had since the great Wayne Owens. By the way, I've enjoyed your redistricting coverage. Dave,

That is nice to get work from Mr. Becker. Do you really think that Ed Mayne is really that big of player? I think Patrice has a pretty good grassroots effort to GOTV on her own, and I would hate to see her just retire. great map drawing…did you use a computer program or what?
