Where La Crescenta-Montrose Voters Will Be in Final State Redistricting Maps

The California Citizens Redistricting Commission voted on Friday to approve its final maps for congressional and state legislative offices. There will now be a two week public review period before the final vote, but there will be no revisions to the map

A state redistricting commission approved its final maps for congressional and state legislative electoral districts on Friday, making it likely that they will become the voting districts until the next redistricting process in 10 years.

The final meeting of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission will be on August 15, according to the commission's spokesman Rob Wilcox.  At that point, the commission will either vote to finalize the maps, or reject them- there will be no further revisions before that deadline, Wilcox said (for more on the commission and its process ).

That means that the maps that have been released (which can be viewed at right or on an interactive map here) will most likely be the next state districts.

Assembly District

In the current map climate, La Crescenta-Montrose is shared between the 38th and 59th Assembly Districts, which are represented through Republicans Cameron Smyth and Tim Donnelly, respectively.

But in the proposed map, La Crescenta falls into a single district including La Canada Flintridge, Burbank and most of Glendale.

State Senate District

The final state senate district maps also group La Crescenta-Montrose with the above cities mentioned with the Assembly district, but also with several cities farther east, such as Pasadena, South Pasadena, Altadena, Sierra Madre and San Marino.

Congressional District

La Crescenta-Montrose's proposed Congressional District mirrors its proposed Assembly District (including the La Canada Flintridge, Burbank and most of Glendale). La Crescenta-Montrose is currently part of the 26th Congressional District, and represented by Republican David Drier (who resides in San Dimas). It is likely, however, that Democrat Adam Shiff, who resides in Burbank, will run for this district in the 2012 election.
