How Does Proposed NY State Legislative Redistricting Plan Impact Roosevelt Island Elected Representation? Changes In State Senate, Serrano Out, Gianaris In - Congress And State Assembly Remain The Same

According to City & State:

Democratic dominance in state politics is about to reach a whole new level as the decennial redistricting process approaches its conclusion. 

Albany Democrats are expected to approve new legislative lines for the state Senate and Assembly that benefit their incumbents while making it harder than ever for Republicans to regain any of the electoral ground they have lost in recent years....

How does the proposed NY State legislative redistricting impact Roosevelt Island representation? 

Roosevelt Island's long time Manhattan/Bronx State Senator Jose Serrano will no longer represent the neighborhood. Instead, Queens State Senator Michael Gianaris, Deputy Majority Leader of the State Senate, will represent Roosevelt Island in the proposed redistricting.

UPDATE 10:30 PM - Senator Serrano will be missed on Roosevelt Island. He has been a forceful advocate for the interests of Roosevelt Island residents.
