Seeing campaign signs for 25th district of the House of Delegates prompted me to check what other Virginia legislature seats which intersect (or are contained in) the 5th Congressional District might be contested elections. My delegate and senator are both running unopposed. Senate districts wholly or partially within the 5th are
15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27.
Of these, only the 17th (NW corner of Albemarle, remainder mostly in 7th CD), the 19th (Southern tip of Bedford county, non-contiguous by land with a portion of Franklin county across Smith Mountain Lake -- remainder in 6th and 9th CDs), and the 20th, a barbell shaped gerrymander connecting Henry county through a thin strip of southern Pittsylvania and the City of Danville to western Halifax and a chunk of northeastern Pittsylvania.
I'll see if the few weeks before the election gives a chance to ride. My local ride in the 25th Delegate district will determine my ambition for more.
