Timeline

1927

One plan called for the merger of LaFalce's territory with the neighboring 27th district of Republican Jack Quinn, a longtime friend who represented the other portion of Buffalo.

1928

The final map merged his district with the Rochester-based 28th District of fellow Democrat Louise Slaughter.
