Proposed HD 60 is generally compact and consists primarily of North Chesterfield, with small portions of the City of Richmond bordering on Manchester and Stony Point. While it is a reasonably shaped district, it less accurately reflects the communities of interest that alight the Northern Chesterfield communities of Bon Air and Midlothian with the West End Henrico communities across the James River and the portions of the City of Richmond between Bon Air and Forest Hill Park. Having said that, North Chesterfield has more common interest with the other portions of Chesterfield reflected on this map than it does with Powhatan. So this map's solution for my community, Bon Air, is acceptable but the B6 map better reflects Bon Air's communities of interest and is also reasonably compact.

I would just like to say that I have done what everyone has asked for here with Ablemarle and Charlottesville. Also GO HOKIES!

In this, as in so many proposals, District 71 comes down like a fist to absorb part of Virginia Beach. This area of Virginia Beach is completely suburban area. The Eastern Shore, which would comprise the rest of District 71, is rural and semi-rural. The two parts have few concerns in common. Inevitably, the delegate would have to choose which constituents to support and which to ignore. Instead, the Eastern Shore should be expanded be expanding the district to the west, across the Chesapeake Bay, which historically unites the communities on either side.

I request that the Glen Allen area near Mountain Road be kept with Henrico County rather than be gerrymandered into District 53 as shown on this map. The Democrat maps have removed this area from Henrico County in an obvious, deliberate fashion. The Chickahominy River is used as the County line between Henrico and Hanover. Yet, the Democrat options cross the Chickahominy to include a very small Republican leaning area, disassociating that small portion of Henrico from all community connections it currently shares. The area in question is mainly represented by the Glen Allen Elementary School and Hunton precincts. I live in the Glen Allen Elementary School precinct area and know the Glen Allen and Hunton communities very well. I ran for the House of Delegates as a Republican from this area in 2019 in what is presently drawn as District 72. It is obvious to me that the Democrat drawings are done to reduce the Republican impact of these two voter precincts in the purple area of Western Henrico.

My wife Anne Geraty submitted comments about the redistricting process and the map that would divide Albemarle County into three parts, again perpetuating political gerrymandering of my House district. I am writing to signify my agreement with her comments. There is no rationale for splitting Albemarle into three parts and connecting them with rural areas with which they have no community of interest. Albemarle and Charlottesville are the same community of interest. My town of Crozet also aligns more closely with Charlottesville than with rural areas. It is a rapidly urbanizing town with much in common with Charlottesville, as most residents of Crozet work in Charlottesville. The plan that divides Albemarle into two parts, one grouped with Charlottesville and the other with neighboring Nelson, makes much more sense. Please keep Albemarle County residents together in the redistricting process!

I was quite encouraged when the citizens of Virginia voted to end gerrymandering by passing the resolution to create an "independent" commission to draw districts. My county of Albemarle has been gerrymandered for far too long, rendering the democratic process of voting rather futile, especially for the House of Delegates. I strongly oppose the continuation of splitting Albemarle County into multiple pieces, dividing its citizens, defying the constitutional imperative to keep communities of interest together and to draw compact districts. Albemarle County's community of interest is Charlottesville, as is the community of interest of my town of Crozet, an urbanized suburb of Charlottesville with much more in common with Charlottesville than with rural areas in the Valley or points south such as Amherst. I am urging the commission to listen to the citizens of this area and keep the nearly 100,000 citizens of Albemarle as a community of interest. We have no representative on the commission and must speak for ourselves. The thing that makes the most sense is to split Albemarle into two districts (not three, which merely continues the gerrymandered status quo). One district could unite part of Albemarle with Charlottesville and the other could group the rest of Albemarle with our nearest neighbor, Nelson County. This would address the requirement for compactness and would also recognize that Charlottesville and places like Crozet in Albemarle County are a community of interest. Please let us function as such!

Commissioners: This is a suggested compromise for the most recently proposed maps for the House of Delegates. As a citizen of Albemarle County, I strongly oppose the GOP attempt at dividing Albemarle County into 3 pieces. Albemarle has had our voices diluted in the VA House of Delegates for the past decade precisely because of this sort of gerrymandering. We deserve to be kept as unified as possible going forward. Thus, we should be in only 2 Districts. One District should be Charlottesville and some portion of Albemarle. The second District could be the rest of Albemarle and our neighbor to the south, Nelson County, with whom we share a community of interest. This would be a compact District that would keep the citizens of Albemarle together as much as possible while also addressing the concern raised by some members of this commission regarding the Democratic map about the mountains between Augusta and Albemarle. In other words it is exactly the sort of compromise this Commission was formed to forge.

Joe better stay with P.A. and your Journalism, a geographer you aren't. Cutting the center of NN out and putting in with IOW and Suffolk down to the NC line fails the compactness and community of interest test. Good to see students participate through

Albemarle County + Charlottesville has within 13K citizens of making 2 compact districts that maintain our jurisdictional boundaries, a stated priority of the Redistricting Commission. Those 13K citizens can easily be found within our several counties planning district which relies for employment and commerce on Charlottesville/Albemarle: Greene, Orange, Louisa, Fluvanna and Nelson – any of which could supply these citizens. Instead, the proposed maps scatter 80K citizens of Albemarle to outlying counties as far flung as Madison Heights. Most egregious was the moderator’s description on Saturday that ‘’adding ‘rural’ Crozet to rural counties south of Albemarle like Amherst was a fit’. For heavens sake, Crozet is in fact the FASTEST growing area of Albemarle County! THE CITIZENS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLEAD WITH YOU TO KEEP ALBEMARLE/CHARLOTTESVILLE TOGETHER!
