Norwin Area Democrats will review the new Congressional district maps and how it will affect the area when they meet at 6 p.m. March 9 in the community room of the Norwin Public Library, Caruthers Lane, Irwin.
The Democrats plan to get signatures for nominating petitions so they can be on the primary ballot. Candidates seeking the nomination in the new 12th Congressional District are expected to speak at the event.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court last week issued a new Congressional map that included Irwin, Jeannette, Murrysville, North Huntingdon, Penn Township, Sewickley and part of Hempfield west of Greensburg in Westmoreland County in with Pittsburgh and its eastern suburbs as part of a newly drawn 12th District.
