I am not clear as to the reasoning for splitting up Manassas City between two delegate districts. It makes no sense for a jurisdiction like this to have a their representation essentially diluted and divided into two separate counties.

One district for Ashburn, one for Sterling. Don't divide both towns (and the neighborhoods within them) in half.

I don't agree with putting the Frying Pan precinct in 86 rather than 36. Frying Pan is part and parcel of the silver line corridor, and any districting map should reflect that.

HD 60 and HD 27 are unacceptable. They split Bon Air in two pieces and then connect our community to portions of Henrico (like Short Pump) with which we do not share a close community of interest, such as we do with the portions of Richmond on the southside of the River and the portion of Henrico immediately across the Huguenot Bridge. This map reflects the kind of gerrymandering nonsense that the redistricting process was supposed to end. Hard No on this map.
Tim Baird
As a Bon Air resident, this proposed map would split Bon Air in half, with half of the community included in HD 60 and other half included in HD 27. The map would also play games with the 288 corridor and include a sliver of Western Henrico all the way to Short Pump in the same HD 60 that includes the western half of Bon Air. This type of gerrymandering is what the redistricting commission is supposed to end. While Bon Air definitely shares a community of interest with the Western portions of Richmond and Henrico along the James River, it does not share a community of interest with many of the areas included, and has the closest connection to our neighbors that would be located in HD 27. Do better.

Thank you for keeping the Glen Allen area alongside Staples Mill Road and alongside Mountain Road together as drawn into a new district numbered here as 72. However, this version cuts across two distinct magisterial district lines used for Supervisor and School Board representation in Henrico County – Brookland and Three Chopt – and has a very small area that is served by the City of Richmond rather than Henrico County. I ran for the House of Delegates as a Republican from this area in 2019 in what is presently drawn as District 72 and I am very familiar with the area. Further, this drawing of districts 72 and 73, as shown, creates a District 60 which is very disjointed and does not recognize the distinct differences between the areas north of the James River (Henrico) and south of the James River (Chesterfield). In my 26 years here, the James River has served as a recognized line.

This is one of the best representations for communities of interest and trying to follow community boundaries on the Peninsula.

The 34th here is a good version for this district. It keeps McLean and Great Falls both whole, and incorporates neighborhoods to the southwest of Route 7 that were recently redrawn into the Langley HS pryamid along with McLean and GF. These families play sports together, attend the same schools, shop at the same stores, and view themselves as neighboring communities of interest. This map also respects the guidance to avoid crossing county lines and a future HOD member would be able to represent this cohesive region.

This is fine except for instead of part of Gloucester, take north King and Queen. North of 360 Essex/KQ and KW are all very similar culturally

I like that this map keeps Blacksburg and Radford together in a district, and that it keeps the district entirely inside of Montgomery County, mostly to the western half of the county. This area is a community that sees a lot of travel within it, for work, shopping, etc. I would keep the entirety of Blacksburg intact in a single district, but otherwise it looks good keeping Blacksburg, Radford, and Christiansburg together. I also appreciate that it only divides Montgomery County into two districts, and the districts are generally quite compact.

District 44 on this map is drawn correctly. All of the residents of this area have the same concerns, attend the same schools and do not cross over the Alexandria City line. We have a lot of development happening along the Richmond Highway corridor from the Alexandria City line all the way down to Fort Belvoir.

I like proposed HD72 uncouples much of the Three Chopt district of Henrico (which is fully suburban) from surrounding rural counties, though I am concerned that the way that HD60 is drawn dilutes the Asian population of this area. The Three Chopt magisterial district population is 22% Asian and this district reduces that to 17% (which is worlds better than the 11% we are at now in HD56). I think this can be addressed by shifting the line between HD60 and HD72.
Peggy Layne
It's hard to tell but it looks like Blacksburg is entirely in district 7, which is good. I also like that Blackburg is combined with Radford and western Montgomery County. Blacksburg and Radford have a lot in common. I also like that Montgomery County is only split between two districts instead of 3 as it is at present.
