On December 21, 2010 the U.S. Census Bureau unveiled a new set of state and national population numbers that will reshape the U.S. House of Representatives Seat Map in 2010.  The Northeast-Midwest region will lose House seats, and sunbelt states will gain them.  Fewer seats in Congress means diminished power within the region's Congressional delegation to address unique NEMW regional issues, unless the region's delegation works effectively together across state and party lines.  More facts on these changes can be found in a newly-released brief by the Northeast-Midwest Institute.
