Due to redistricting, the KY-03 is no longer an urban based district. It covers the suburbs of Jefferson County as well. Without these suburbs, Northup would lose.

What they did was shove the Third Congressional District to the northeast, and tossed the South and Southeast parts of Jefferson County out to the Second. It accomplished two things - made the GOP competitive in Louisville despite itself, and forced the Second District Congressman to be concerned about more than farm subsidies and tobacco support in order to pacify people from Southern suburbs as well as commuters from Bullitt and Spencer County.

They managed to make a silk purse from the sows ear when the state lost the 7th CD.
