Stamford, Bridgeport pick up seventh state House seats as result of redistricting

Fast-growing Stamford has gained a seventh state House seat, following approval by Connecticut”™s bipartisan Reapportionment Commission of new district maps.

Also adding a seventh seat is Bridgeport, while Stratford is adding a third. Wilton, which had been split across two districts, will now be entirely within the 42^nd. In addition, the 125^th, which had represented New Canaan, will now include part of Stamford.

The Reapportionment Commission is scheduled to approve a new map for state Senate districts by Nov. 30, although indications are that that work may be delayed.

The Connecticut Supreme Court would have to approve that extension.
