A primary concern of mine is that our whole county be in the same district, U.S. House, State Senate, and State House. Our center of government is the county seat and it is not good to be split off from the county seat in any districting.See More

Thanks to Todd
As Todd heads to Congress we should all thank him for his efforts on redistricting reform. He has established and developed this website.
