It is that time again. As you well know each time the decennial census is completed we prepare for changes in political district boundaties. As you also know the majority party redistricts.
Our current political district situation (Mercer County) is confusing to voters, confusing to candidates and confusing to the general public. Fortunately we have two recently elected members of the majority party in Senate District 10, Mark Wills and Ron Miller.
The basic question in the Senate will be,should all of Mercer County be in one district? If so, should it be District 10 or District 6.
Unfortunately we do not have a member of the majority party in Delegate District 24. We (Mercer County) will have no impute in any decision relative to redistricting that effects District 24.
In Delegate District 25 John Frazier is in the Majority party. He and the House leadership will have impute into any boundry changes relative to District 25.
My opinion is that, as nearily as possible, all of Mercer County should be in Senate District 10 and Mercer County should have one three delegate district that follows county boundaries. |
