Issue Position: Ending Virginia's Partisan Gerrymandering

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2017
Issues: Elections

I believe that we need to overhaul our redistricting process to remove the deliberate manipulation of legislative districts to benefit a particular party. Virginia is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country and it is a practice that a majority of Virginians are opposed to. We have seen year after year of uncontested elections across the Commonwealth because the districts are drawn to favor the incumbent party. This is a bipartisan problem in Virginia and we need a non-partisan solution to address it. I will work to make redistricting non-partisan and make sure voters get to pick their legislators and not the other way around.
