New York State is generally known as being a liberal place to live and it is with the general congressional representation being largely skewed in the Democrats favor, both Federal Senators being Democrats, and a Democratic Governor. However, in Rochester, NY, in large part thanks to gerrymandering, they are four congressional districts represented and three of them are Republican (James Walsh NY-25, Randy Kuhl NY-29, and Tom Reynolds NY-26), with the lone Democrat being House Rules Committee Chairperson, Louise Slaughter, NY-28.
