Page County adopts resolution opposing congressional redistricting it says would dilute rural representation
Summary
The Board voted 6-0 to adopt a resolution opposing proposed congressional redistricting plans the county says would divide rural and agricultural communities and weaken their representation in Congress.
County Attorney Michael Helm introduced a resolution opposing a congressional redistricting proposal that the resolution said would "dilute the representation of rural and agricultural communities" and divide natural regions. The resolution frames the change as harmful to the Shenandoah Valley's distinct rural and agricultural interests and calls for congressional districts that respect regional integrity.
Supervisor Ryan Cubbage moved to adopt the resolution; Supervisor Susan Kile seconded and the motion carried by a 6-0 vote (Aye: Baldwin, Louderback, Cubbage, Kile, Vaughan, Thomas). The resolution directs copies be transmitted to the Governor's Office, the county's legislative delegation, and the Supreme Court of Virginia.
