The twelfth district was created by the state legislature to address specific regional needs and ensure adequate representation for a growing population. It aims to provide better governance by aligning political boundaries with community interests and demographic changes. Additionally, the establishment of the district can facilitate more localized decision-making and resource allocation to meet the unique challenges faced by its constituents.

Who is the legislative branch at the state level?

State Legislature. Every state has its own legislature. Forty-nine US states have a bicameral state legislature. This means that the legislatures have two houses, similar to the US Congress' House of Representatives and Senate. The upper house is usually called the state Senate, while the lower house is called a House of Representatives (41 states), House of Delegates (5 states), or state Assembly (3 states). Nebraska is unique among states in that it has a unicameral legislature, meaning it has a single chamber, called, simply, the Legislature, although its members are called "senators", as a matter of tradition. Three US Territories (Puerto Rico, Northern Marianas Islands, and the unincorporated American Samoa) have bicameral legislatures, while Guam and the US Virgin Islands have unicameral legislatures. Since 1973, the District of Columbia has a mayor and a unicameral Council, which functions as the District's legislature. Congress has Constitutionally-granted overall control over the District, but DC is usually run by a government very similar to that of other American cities, pursuant to the Home Rule Act of 1973.
