Monroe County Assembly districts are facing changes, and residents in some towns will have new representatives if proposed maps released by a legislative task force yesterday are approved.

Here's a rundown:

Chili, Henrietta, and a question mark shaped section of the city would remain in Democrat Harry Bronson's 131st District, which will be renumbered as the 138th District. The proposed map cuts Riga, Wheatland, and Rush out of the district. Henrietta is a new addition.

Riga, Wheatland, and Rush would become part of Republican Sean Hanna's 130th District, which would be renumbered as the 133rd District. Pittsford and Mendon are in the district, too. The proposed map shuffles around some of the Ontario County and Livingston County towns that would be in the district. The district would also extend further south into several Steuben County communities, ending approximately around the City of Hornell.

Webster, Penfield, Perinton, and East Rochester would keep Republican Mark Johns. They'd also remain in the 135th Assembly District wouldn't change at all.

Greece and Ogden remain in the proposed 134th District, but the proposed district drops Sweden in favor of Parma. Republican Bill Reilich currently represents the district.

Democrat Joe Morelle will continue to represent Irondequoit and Brighton, but in the 136th, not 132nd district. The towns would be linked, just as they are now, by a strip along the city's eastern edge.

Democrat David Gantt's 133rd District would remain largely unchanged, though it would be renumbered as the 137th District. The district covers Gates and much of the city.

Parma would be dropped from the 139th District, but Sweden would join it. Hamlin and Clarkson would remain in the district, which is mostly outside of Monroe County. It's represented by Republican Stephen Hawley.
