And you just KNOW that the upstate district will be one currently held by a Republican...
Two possibilities in that regard:
1. Tom Reed (my congressman), who had previously said he wouldn't serve as Congressman past 2022. He may run for Governor instead, allowing his Southern Tier district to be carved up. (But it would be difficult to minimize one of the most conservative districts in the state without risking tipping a more liberal district back into the red column.)
2. If Claudia Tenney wins, hers. She is in a battle with Anthony Brindisi that is going through a long, bloody recount. Her district is more liberal, meaning it could be carved up to make more Dem districts.
