I looked further and I think the old 23rd may have been his before the redistricting of 94, however he has been in the same area for years no matter what it is called. He did not rep the current 23rd.

[Yo-Yo]

Someone needs to correct his own mistake -- McNulty was the rep for NY-21, not NY-23.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York's_23rd_congressional_district

NcNulty was 23rd district Representative until redistricting put him in the 21st district.

According to the Wikipedia article above, there were 16 other Democrats to hold the 23rd district seat since 1865.

Nancy Pelosi: “We Won Last Night” …Lies Twice About NY-23 Race

JOE WILSON: Another shout out needed!

[Cyclone59]

technically she is correct in saying that the dems won last night. The picked up the seat from new york, plain and simple. All be it, they may have only won by a point, but they did win.

Hey Nancy,

Keep your laws off my BODY!

Hey Dems,

Why are you pushing so hard for the government that you feared would track the library books you checked out to have their hands on your medical records?

The 23rd district has been redistricted several times. I’m counting 17 Democrats that have served in this seat since the Civil War.

Now of course the redistricting is the key factor here. Are you going to count people that only won in NY-23 without a redstricting?

It’s really impossible to do. The region has been redistricted 7 times since 1965. Given the fact that NY keeps losing population it will be redistricted again.

If this were a Senate seat that hadn’t gone D or R since reconstruction this might be a legitimate point. However House seats never have a true historical track records given census trends redistricting counties, partial counties etc.
