CRANBERRY TWP — A group of Pennsylvania residents, including two Butler County commissioners, on Monday submitted their proposed congressional map to the Commonwealth Court as part of that court’s look at the redistricting process.

Unlike proposals from the General Assembly and Gov. Tom Wolf, this map — called the “Citizen Voters” map by the Butler law firm Dillon McCandless Coulter King and Graham, which represents the group — would not split Butler County into two or more congressional districts.

County commissioners chairwoman Leslie Osche and vice-chairwoman Kim Geyer as well as Sheriff Mike Slupe are among the residents represented in the “Citizen Voters” group.

The map submitted to the court includes Butler County in the 15th Congressional District, which would stretch from Armstrong County to Erie County and split Clarion County in two.
