Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D), signed the State's Redistricting Bills Monday, hours before a Deadline, that would've taken the Process Out of the Legislature's Hands, and making Oregon the First State with a New Congressional Map after the 2020 Census.
The New Congressional Map, is a Compromise that's expected to Create Four Democratic-leaning Seats, One Republican-leaning Seat, and One more Competitive Seat.
An earlier Proposal would've made that Sixth District more Democratic.
"For the first time in forty years, Oregon is gaining a congressional seat -- another delegation member to advocate for the common good of all Oregonians," Brown said in a Statement.
"After the past year and a half, during which Oregonians have faced unprecedented challenges that have urgently required federal attention and resources, I am particularly grateful that the Legislature has come together to pass today's historic legislation."
In April, the Census Bureau released Data from their Once-in-a-Decade Survey, that showed the U.S. Population topped 331 Million People, marking the Country's Second Slowest Population Growth Rate in U.S. History.
