| The Pennsylvania Supreme Court released its own congressional redistricting map this afternoon (see map below). Back in January, the Democratic-majority court ruled that the state's 18-district map in use since 2011 was unconstitutionally gerrymandered and partisan in Republican favor and ordered a new map be drawn. Legislative leaders sent a new map to Governor Tom Wolf last Monday, who in turn sent a map of his own to the court on Friday. This map created by the court will be used in... Read More |

| A tricky, thread-the-needle winter storm is expected to affect the Philadelphia area this evening and overnight with the possibility of accumulating snow.

This map takes features from Republican and Democratic submissions, while still meeting the court's orders and opinion, to provide Pennsylvanians with a fair map. While my preference would have been for the... Read More |
