Print | Front Page | Email this story

NASHVILLE (AP) - Senate Republicans have released a redistricting proposal that would place Senate Democratic Leader Jim Kyle of Memphis into the same district as a GOP incumbent.

The Senate plan was posted on the legislative website Wednesday afternoon. House Republicans unveiled their plan for the lower chamber earlier in the day.

The Senate plan would put Kyle in the same district as Republican Sen. Brian Kelsey. It would also draw together two freshman Republicans, Jim Summerville of Dickson and Kerry Roberts of Springfield.

The once-a-decade redistricting plan reflects population changes in the 2010 Census and shifting political trends. Republicans hold wide majorities in both chambers of the Legislature. Republican leaders have said they want the redistricting measure to be among the first bills considered when the legislative session begins next week.
