TextBoard of Supervisors Adopts 2011 Redistricting Plan
At its April 26 meeting, the Board of Supervisors adopted a
redistricting plan that will now be submitted to the U.S. Attorney
General for preclearance. Under state law, however, redistricting goes
into effect immediately and does not wait for the fall elections.
The plan maintains nine supervisor districts, but it shifts seven voting
precincts. The changes for the Braddock District are as follows: Bristow
precinct will move into the Mason District, while Eagle View and Monument
precincts will move from Springfield into the Braddock District. From the
dais, Supervisor Cook expressed his concerns about splitting the
Ravensworth Bristow community (comprising the Bristow and Heritage
precincts) across two supervisor districts. Since the Board first
proposed the plan during its April 12 meeting, Supervisor Cook met with a
number of other Supervisors in the hopes that they could develop an
alternative that left Bristow in Braddock District. Unfortunately, each
proposed change put the population of Braddock and/or Mason outside of
accepted norms, so the change could not be avoided. Supervisor Cook will,
of course, continue to represent half of that community and to work with
our Mason Supervisor, Penny Gross, on Annandale issues.
Everyone in the Braddock Office would like to take this opportunity to
welcome the new members of the Braddock District. We look forward to
serving the residents of Eagle View and Monument precincts and encourage
you to contact the office with your questions and concerns.
