Looking at the map, the blue district to the left is the one I live in. To the right of that blue blob is the City of Roanoke. Roanoke has a population of over 120,000. The rest of the district is mostly rural. Looking at the odd shape of my district, do you thing there’s something odd?

The republicans did not run a candidate for state senate in my district this time around. But a Libertarian whom no one had heard of got nearly 20% of the vote. The state Republican party has written us off. Maybe they should have given some money to the libertarian if they couldn’t field a candidate.
