Hays County will continue to be a part of Senate District 21, represented by Senator Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo following the completion of the redistricting process for the Congressional, Texas Senate, Texas House and State Board of Education maps.
Zaffrini’s district now includes 69% of Hays County, which is a significant increase from the 31% previously included.
“Because every state senator represents an average population of 940,178, our districts are bigger than those of the U.S. Congress and Texas House of Representatives,” Zaffirini said. “Our SD 21 community of interest is defined by an inverted ‘T.’ It stretches along IH-35 from Travis-Hays-Bexar to La Salle and Webb counties and from Dimmit to Starr along the Texas-Mexico border. We share priorities including those related to education, health and economic development.”
