Holy guacamole, those HOD and Senate maps make Loudoun’s redistricting look rational.
Here’s what we’ve got:
4 Senate Seats
- A bit of a district that runs all the way from Arlington into Sugarland Run. Long and narrow, runs along the Potomac. That’s one that’s probably going to have a heavy primary.
- Blue Ridge, and some of Ashburn, including my old house in the Broadlands, are in a district that reaches into Fauquier and Prince William Counties and stretches down as far as Warrenton. That there is Colgan and Marshall country. I’m guessing it’ll be pretty red.
- Herring’s district is an L with one line stretching from Leesburg, along the Potomac into Sterling and then down into Herndon below Rte. 50.
- I can’t even believe the last one. It’s a check mark that includes most of Catoctin, gets every thing to West Virginia and then slides down under the district that includes the Broadlands. It is a mess.
6, possibly 7 HOD Seats
- Rust’s district no longer includes Oak Grove, Buchanan, or the other couple of precincts he lost in Loudoun.
- Lemunyon keeps Little River.
- Greason’s district shrank a bit.
- May’s district moved farther West, and lost most of Leesburg.
- Leesburg is now in an open district.
- Mike Kondradick is in an open district…including some of the precincts Rust gave up.
- And it looks like there’s a little tongue of a Fairfax district up in Sugarland Run.
All-in-all, it’s…impressive.
I thought it might be, which is why I linked.
It was a joke 🙂
…sorta!
Understood.
No.
So….since Stevens won’t run against Herring — will he re-consider running for supervisor in the “Amoeba” district? 😉
Hard to tell in writing, so just wanted to be clear.
I hope you know the “tee hee” meant I was gently ribbing you both!
Now, Barbara, you KNOW I agree with you on Loudoun’s redistricting.
So guys, can I opine that you are feeling on a larger scale what lots of people were expressing about the magisterial map adopted?
Tee hee
Looks like I am in that lovely Senate 22. Just can’t wait to see who starts filling my mailbox, and with what. Sigh.
Yes, breathtaking. Awe-striking.
Lo, I am gobsmacked.
Yes, the last one – it is breathtaking. I keep going back, just to marvel at it. I really must get to know my new co-community-of-interest in Remington. I’m sure they are very nice.
