Delegate Lionell Spruill (D- Chesapeake) spoke today on the House of Delegates floor on why he supports Republican efforts on legislation related to redistricting.

“They got it right . . .I do applaud Republicans one time for looking out for black folks.  You all do that right.  I give you credit for that.  I will support you everytime they try to do a redistricting bill.  I will support you everytime.  And I hope that members of the black caucus, this time Republicans are right.  When they are right we’ve got to go with them.”
