District 22 Boundaries
People often ask me to describe the district, which isn't easy because of its odd shape. The picture of the district I posted here can be enlarged by clicking on it.
The district includes Capital precincts 43, 46, 50, 52, 56, 58, 65, 94, and 96. I live on Pasfield Street in precinct 96. Two easy ways to find out if you live in the district are to check your voter registration card, or enter your address at this page on the County Clerk's website.
South Grand runs right through the middle of the district. The eastern border is 9th Street. It goes as far South as Outer Park Drive and North to Edwards. Most of the Western border is MacArthur Blvd but it also jets over to Orendorf Parkway, on the edge of Washington Park. If you live in the district you'll probably find me knocking on your door during the next few months!
I'm also frequently asked about the political leanings of the district. The area is almost evenly divided between the two parties. John Kerry won this district in 2004, but by less than 100 votes. Voters here frequently split their votes between Democrats and Republicans, voting for the person rather than by straight party line.
