→Congressional campaign
On the day following the election, Little formed a foundation and two political action committees (PACs) and announced her intention to challenge Pallone again in two years. This assumes that Highlands and Long Branch, the respective home towns of Little and Pallone, will actually be in the same congressional district. The New Jersey Congressional Redistricting Commission will sit beginning 20 August 2011 and redraw all congressional districts in New Jersey for 2012. These districts will be one fewer in number (12, down from 13) than the present number. However, the 6th District is severely indented and dispersed, and in fact is the worst district in the country in terms of violation of geographical integrity, the hallmark of [[gerrymandering]]. New Jersey's [[Tea Party Movement]] organizations have pledged to agitate for the drawing of more-compact (and more-competitive) districts, even to drawing up a redistricting plan of their own.<ref>{{cite web
