U.S. Rep. James McGovern needs about 21,000.
And hemmed in by state borders and facing a slow growing population in Central and Western Massachusetts they’ll likely only find them by looking east toward the fast-growing Boston suburbs.
But how to do that while keeping the districts centered on, and responsive to, the central and western part of the state, a goal both Neal, D-Springfield, and McGovern, D-Worcester, say is do-able: ensuring that both regions maintain two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
