Iowa Legislative Services Agency Releases “Plan 2” For Redistricting

(Des Moines) — The Iowa Legislative Services Agency released its second version of the redistricting Congressional and State legislative maps earlier today (Thursday).  The proposed 4th Congressional district covers 36 counties and includes all the counties that border the Missouri River.  Le Mars would remain in the 4th Congressional District if the plan is approved.  As for the new proposed Iowa House of Representatives district map, Plymouth County is again shown as being split, with the northern half joining the southern half of Sioux County and would be referred to as Iowa House District 3.  As proposed, both Republicans State Representatives Dr. Tom Jeneary of Le Mars, and State Representative Skylar Wheeler of Orange City would be placed in the same district.  In terms of the newly proposed State Senate district maps, Republican State Senator Jeff Taylor would inherit Lyon County and the northern portion of Plymouth County.  State Senator Jim Carlin would have the southern half of Plymouth County and most of Woodbury County and Monona County, outside the Sioux City and Sergeant Bluff metro areas.
