Received via email from my Delegate, Paula Miller, whose 87th House district has been eliminated in Norfolk:
What has happened with redistricting in South Hampton Roads is unfortunate because Norfolk’s population merits 3 resident delegates just like Virginia Beach’s population merits two resident state senators. But, redistricting is a political problem, not a math problem.
I have been extremely honored to represent the citizens of the 87th House District for the past 7 years and have enjoyed tremendous bipartisan support from voters as was reflected in each of my four elections. Rest assured the citizens of Ocean View can expect my continued dedicated service through the end of 2011.
As for my political future, I will keep all my options open.
Thank you,
Paula Miller
I hope everything works out fine but if it doesn’t Norfolk needs a competent person to run opposite Winn in the super ward.
Peggy Scott
Or Rigell in the 2nd CD.
Amen to both!
I guess if you can’t beat her in an election, this ends up being the only solution left to you.
I would rather see her run for Webbs seat.
