House Republican Leader Todd Gilbert issued the following statement:

“Last month Virginians overwhelmingly voted in support of creating a new panel to ensure that Virginia’s legislative mapmaking process isn’t subject to political games. To that end, I have appointed Delegates Les Adams and Margaret Ransone to the Virginia Redistricting Commission, both of whom supported the creation of the Commission throughout,” Gilbert said. “With their combined knowledge and experience, I have no doubt they will help craft what the voters have demanded — fair maps for every Virginian.”
