HARRISBURG, Pa. — When mapmakers reimagined the boundaries of Pennsylvania’s 253 legislative districts, they did it with an eye on the state’s growing racial and ethnic minorities, and officials say that has helped yield the most diverse incoming class of lawmakers yet.
There are now more Black, Latino and Asian-American lawmakers than ever, said Rep. Donna Bullock, who chairs the Legislative Black Caucus. The caucus — which includes lawmakers who are Latino or Asian-American — will have more members than ever, rising from 31 to 37, she said. There, the number of Latinos will rise from four to five, or just 2% in a state where Latinos make up 8% of Pennsylvania’s 13 million residents. Proportional representation would be more like 20 seats.two particular aspects drove the discussion
The Senate’s makeup didn’t change, after critics say senators drew a new map of districts that disproportionately protected incumbents. “This is the first time someone from our community will represent it in the Legislature,” Scott said, calling that step “incredibly important.”
