COOS COUNTY — Coos County will lose a state representative seat as a result of the 2020 U.S. Census, which shows the county’s population dropped by 5.4 percent over the past ten years while the state overall grew by 4.6 percent. Instead of 10 state representatives, Coos County will have nine.
The House Special Committee on Redistricting has approved a plan for redistricting the entire state that will go before the entire house early next year for approval. In Coos County, the plan reduces the number of House districts from seven to six and divides the nine state representatives among the six districts.
