QUINCY – A new analysis shows that the populations of at least five state House of Representatives districts and one Senate district have moved from mostly white to majority-minority, a demographic shift that could have implications when lawmakers draw new district boundaries later this year.
The 1st Norfolk District, represented by Rep. Bruce Ayers, D-Quincy, is one of the districts that is no longer considered majority white. Ayers district includes parts of Quincy, wards 3, 4, 5 and 6, as well as four precincts in Randolph.
“Diversity is one of our greatest strengths in both Quincy and in Randolph, Ayers said in a statement Thursday. The growth of these diverse populations in my district highlights that Quincy and Randolph are a great place to live, work and raise a family, no matter your background.
