Pittsburgh’s Northside gains another state Rep. thanks to redistricting

Some of Pittsburgh’s Northside neighborhoods are now part of House of Representatives District 21.

Pennsylvania’s recent redistricting process has moved some of Pittsburgh’s Northside neighborhoods into House of Representatives District 21. Represented by Sara Innamorato (D), District 21 now includes the neighborhoods of East Deutschtown, Troy Hill, Spring Hill, Spring Garden, and parts of Historic Deutschtown and the North Shore. 

The Northside’s other districts are District 19, previously represented by Jake Wheatley (D), who has since been named Mayor Gainey’s new chief of staff; and District 20, represented by Emily Kinkead (D). These districts have also undergone changes. You can visit Dave’s Redistricting, a free, open-source web app of redistricting maps throughout the country, to see how the state’s redistricting has affected your particular neighborhood.

Every 10 years, the political divisions, or districts, of each state are redrawn following the completion of the decennial census. Districts, according to federal law, must be made up of close to equal populations and must not put voters at a disadvantage based on their race or ethnicity.

A special election is planned for April 5 to fill Wheatley’s seat. Both Innamorato and Kinkead are up for re-election this year.
