2010 census results give Texas four additional seats in Congress

WASHINGTON – Torrid growth over the last decade has earned Texas four additional seats in Congress – the state’s biggest leap in political clout in a century, far outstripping any other state. “The 2010 Census will serve as a backbone for our political and economic system for years to come,” Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said this morning, announcing the state-by-state population figures at the National Press Club. “This is really an important day for the American people.”
