So, redistricting seems like it’s pretty well finished.  There are a ton of elected positions in play within the next 6-8 months and the time for people to announce their intentions is drawing nigh, especially for the State positions!  Our Delegate seat, our Senate seat, the Mayor, half the City Council and half the School Board are up soon.  Wondering what everyone thinks will happen with these positions? 

I’ve looked at the new districts and I don’t believe it changes the dynamics for the Delegate seat but it does for the Senate seat.  That seat is now much more friendly to the Democrats and I expect that if a moderate democrat (or R, for that matter) runs there, he’ll probably win.  Many have speculated that an entire stack of dominos might come tumblin’ down if our Senator was to retire and our Delegate or Mayor or other elected ran for that job which would free up that seat, etc, etc, etc….

Here’s my prediction: the tumblin’ dominos would be intersting but I predict nothing will change.  I have no inside information from anyone but predict that Senator Colgan will run again as will Delegate Miller, Mr. Parrish, etc.  Status Quo.  This suits me just fine.  I can continue to do what I’m doing…..

UPDATE – NLS is reporting that Colgan is going to retire…looks like it is on like Donkey Kong.
