In surprise, Rhode Island gets to keep two congressional seats Published Mon Apr 26 2021 20:45:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) In a surprise development, Rhode Island will keep its two congressional districts after the 2020 Census, helping to maintain the state’s share of federal resources and sparing a change for either Reps. David Cicilline or Jim Langevin. by Ian Donnis
Rhode Island has gained more than 40,000 residents since the 2010 Census, meaning it will not join the six states that are each losing one House district – California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
“Great day to be a Rhode Islander,” tweeted Cicilline, who was first elected in 2010.

Dr. Aditi Srivastav Bussells, an Indian American public health researcher, last month announced her candidacy for the councilmember-at-large seat on the Columbia, South Carolina, Council.
The seat has been held by Councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine for nearly two decades. However, when Mayor Steve Benjamin confirmed he would not seek reelection this year, Devine announced she would run for the mayoral seat, creating a clear pathway for those seeking the at-large seat for the first time in almost 20 years, according to a The State report.
Bussells, 31, is the director of research at the Childrenâs Trust of South Carolina, which focuses on the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

2020 Census results were supposed to come out in December, as mandated by the Constitution.The Census Bureau recently announced plans to release the first-round of results by April 30. Local and state governments and agencies, businesses, nonprofits and researchers rely on this data to get information, access funds and make big decisions.
Disruptions and accuracy concerns swirled around last year’s count and, for some, those concerns remain. The delay may help the Bureau fix some issues, but will also cause problems for the state’s redistricting plans and tax allocation process, and could affect local efforts like fire recovery.
