Newly drawn 1^st Congressional District is an ideal fit for the conservative Snohomish County Councilman

December 28, 2011 - Arlington, WA - The proposal released Wednesday by the Washington State Redistricting Committee has dramatically reshaped districts on the western side of the state.

"I have seen the proposed congressional maps and it appears that I will now be running for the U.S. Congress in Washington's newly configured Congressional District One", said John Koster.

 The 1^st CD, which has been vacated by Congressman Jay Inslee, who is running for Governor, now stretches into the rural northwest parts of the state from east King County to the Canadian border.

 Rumors have abounded for months that the two Democrats on the Redistricting committee would make it their top priority to ensure there would be no Koster/Larsen rematch in Congressional District 2.

Koster, however, is looking optimistically at his chances of winning in the new 1^st CD, which appears to be an ideal fit. With Koster's residence now located midway between the new north and south boundaries of the 1^st, the rural character and more conservative leaning constituency of the new district should provide Koster, a former dairy farmer, a natural support base.
