New York's 30th State Assembly district is one of the 150 districts in the New York State Assembly in the United States. It has been represented by Democrat Steven Raga since 2023, replacing Brian Barnwell.

Geography[edit]

2020s[edit]

Due to the growing Asian population on Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Woodside, the new 30th district was drawn to be an Asian majority district, comprising the neighborhoods of Woodside, Elmhurst, and portions of Maspeth, Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Middle Village.[3]

The district overlaps with New York's 6th, 7th and 14th congressional districts, the 12th, 13th and 15th districts of the New York State Senate, and the 22nd, 25th, 26th and 30th districts of the New York City Council.

2010s[edit]

District 30 is located in Queens, comprising parts of the neighborhoods of Woodside, Maspeth, Astoria, Dutch Kills, Middle Village, Elmhurst, and Sunnyside.[3]
