I’m in Anchorage tonight for work, so I’ll be watching the 1000 year old congressman Young lose his race. (Okay I hope he’s gonna lose this race).

Sorry, I did not see this.

I just looked up the boundaries of my congressional district on wikipedia. The thought occurred to me to share it because I was not so long ago accused here as living in a bubble.

Here's my bubble: New York's 13th congressional district

The district is the smallest Congressional district by area in the U.S. The 13th district comprises Upper Manhattan and a small portion of the western Bronx. The district includes the neighborhoods of Harlem, Inwood, Marble Hill, Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights, and portions of Morningside Heights and the Upper West Side. The Apollo Theater and Grant's Tomb are located within this district.

Distribution

100.00% urban

0.00% rural

Ethnicity

4.03% White

29.66% Black

4.62% Asian

54.38% Hispanic

0.35% Native American

6.96% other

I would like to add that "Asian" is highly likely mostly SE Asian immigrants from what I see, that there is heavy Caribbean cultural influence, and the 6.9% "other" are an incredibly international mix. Anyone else want to share theirs?

Edit to add: just found out my current congressman (to be re-elected today, sure thing) is a great-grandson of Dominican President Ulises Espaillat.
