First Redistricting Bills Are In; VPAP Launches New Tools

newlogo

 

Tuesday, March 29


The first two redistricting bills were introduced today. The nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project has added tools to help citizens follow the process.

VIEW THE PLANS

Check the status of each bill and jump to maps and other resources at the Division of Legislative Services.

ANALYZE THE PLANS

Explore two VPAP applications that illustrate how the proposed bills would alter the partisan performance of each district.  

 

chart  


Population trends forced party leaders in both chambers to shift districts to the fast-growing suburbs of Northern Virginia. Here is how the plans affected several incumbent legislators:

 

House GOP Plan 

  • Moved House District 2 (Bud Phillips, D-St. Paul) from Southwest Virginia to Prince William/Stafford
  • Moved House District 10 (Ward Armstrong, D-Henry County) from Southside Virginia to Clarke/Frederick/Loudoun
  • Moved House District 87 (Paula Miller, D-Virginia Beach) from Hampton Roads to Loudoun/Prince William


Senate Democratic Plan  

  • Two GOP incumbents (McWaters and Wagner) were placed in same Virginia Beach district
  • Two GOP incumbents (Smith and Newman) were placed in the same Southwest Virginia district

VPAP will provide analysis of other redistricting bills as they become available. 

 

The two bills introduced today will be the subject of a series of public hearings scheduled in advance of Monday, when the General Assembly convenes a special redistricting session. Once the Assembly approves new maps and Gov. McDonnell has signed them, VPAP will update its site to reflect the new lines while Virginia waits for clearance from the U.S. Department of Justice.

 

Check VPAP's redistricting portal for the latest developments.

RE: RESDISTRICTING "DEALS"


 Mike,
 
I totally agree.  At the Redistricting Hearings I have gone to (both House and Senate) people from every part of the political spectrum had the same message--protecting incumbents and staving off potential challengers were not appropriate considerations in the redistricting process.  I suggest we all find out from our Congressmen whether they in fact are involved in this.  They should be spending every possible minute digging into the national budget trying to find every stray dollar and every Constitutionally dubious program and putting them on the cutting table, not trying to draw lines around "friendly" voters.

Subject: RESDISTRICTING "DEALS"
Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2011 16:07:42 -0400

Hello Governor, Attorney General, State Senators, and Delegates,

 

I just want to state for the record now that, though unfortunately it doesn't surprise me in the least, I think this (see below) is the sort of thing we simply should not tolerate any longer.  I shall encourage my legion grassroots friends (and even those who are not) to keep a very close eye on this process.

 

Since when is it the business of the state's congressmen to "approve" of how we make up their districts and how they get re-elected? We are NOT here to protect and serve them! They are there to serve and represent us. It is time for distorted district lines drawn by cronyism and strict party considerations to end, and focus on contiguous geographic areas where the people of a region have common interests…not common skin color. These foxes have no business guarding our hen houses, and it must stop. To have to argue that the congressional  delegation should not be participating whatsoever in how they get re-elected is to belabor the ethically obvious.

 

Members of the General Assembly should ONLY be "consulting" with their constituents and each other in this matter, and not the Congressmen. The ethical offensiveness of this should be blatantly self-evident to all who possess any discernable sense of propriety. General Assembly members are to represent us, and NOT the personal nor political interests of the congressional delegation.

 

I urge you all to proceed on this re-districting out in the open where we can all see every bit of what's going on.

 

With respect,

 

Mike Prunty

Report: Congressmen Cut Redistricting Deal

 

As the Governor's Redistricting Commission was gathering ideas from citizens in Roanoke, Politico.com reported Monday that the state's 11-member congressional delegation has agreed to a plan designed to protect their seats.

 

The General Assembly must approve the district boundaries, but in the past has deferred to the state's delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Politico.com reported that all 11 congressmen agreed to the plan.

RESDISTRICTING "DEALS"

Hello Governor, Attorney General, State Senators, and Delegates,

 

I just want to state for the record now that, though unfortunately it doesn’t surprise me in the least, I think this (see below) is the sort of thing we simply should not tolerate any longer.  I shall encourage my legion grassroots friends (and even those who are not) to keep a very close eye on this process.

 

Since when is it the business of the state’s congressmen to “approve” of how we make up their districts and how they get re-elected? We are NOT here to protect and serve them! They are there to serve and represent us. It is time for distorted district lines drawn by cronyism and strict party considerations to end, and focus on contiguous geographic areas where the people of a region have common interests…not common skin color.

UN Masterminds Local Governments

Following is public statement by Kenneth White, President of Virginia
Taxpayers Association, given publicly at 2:25 p.m.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011, in Nelson County Courthouse, Lovingston,
Virginia, at regular monthly meeting of Nelson County, Virginia, Board
of Supervisors:

------------------------

STATEMENT BY KENNETH WHITE MARCH 8,2011

TO NELSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

       
Mr.  Chairman   and   members   of   the   Board,   my   name  is  Kenneth  White,
93 Shields Gap Road,  Roseland,  and I am President of the Virginia Taxpayers Association.

In all of your Board's discussions, with Zoning Administrator Fred Boger, you are operating under the extreme delusion that you are making the decisions locally, and that Washington and the United Nations have nothing whatever to do with your work.
