The 17th congressional district's boundaries from January 3, 2013 to January 2019
Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district is represented by Democrat Matt Cartwright. The district encompasses Schuylkill County and portions of Carbon, Monroe, Luzerne, Lackawanna, and Northampton counties.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the map violated the state constitution and redrew it in February 2018. What was the 17th district will be modified to become the 8th district, and the old 12th district will likewise become the 17th, for the 2018 elections and representation thereafter.[2][3] The new map, beginning in 2019, will include all of Beaver County and most of western Allegheny County.
