'''Virginia's 1st Senate district''' is one of 40 districts in the [[Senate of Virginia]]. |
|||
== History == |
|||
==Historical boundaries== |
|||
Since the [[2023 Virginia Senate election]], the state senator has been Republican [[Timmy French]]. |
|||
From 1940 to 1956, the 1st Senate District included the [[Tidewater region of Virginia|Virginia Tidewater]] county of [[Princess Anne County, Virginia|Princess Anne]] and the [[Eastern Shore of Virginia|Eastern Shore]] counties of [[Accomac County, Virginia|Accomac]] and [[Northampton County, Virginia|Northampton]]. |
|||
It had been represented by [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Monty Mason]] since his victory in a 2016 special election following the death of fellow Democrat [[John Miller (Virginia politician)|John Miller]].<ref name="Leg" /> |
|||
From 1956 to 1966, the 1st Senate District was mostly unchanged, except that the [[Virginia Beach, Virginia|City of Virginia Beach]] was formed out of part of Princess Anne County and was included in the 1st district. As a result of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]'s ruling in the [[One person, one vote]] case of [[Davis v. Mann]], the General Assembly redistricted itself and from 1966 to 1972, the 1st district included all of the counties of Accomac, Northampton, [[Mathews County, Virginia|Mathews]], [[Gloucester County, Virginia|Gloucester]] and [[York County, Virginia|York]]. |
|||
==Geography== |
|||
Beginning in 1972, as a result of a regular decennial redistricting, the 1st Senate District encompassed all of the City of Hampton. |
|||
District 1 is located in the [[Hampton Roads]] metropolitan area in southeastern Virginia, including all of [[Williamsburg, Virginia|Williamsburg]] and parts of [[Hampton, Virginia|Hampton]], [[Newport News, Virginia|Newport News]], [[Suffolk, Virginia|Suffolk]], [[James City County, Virginia|James City County]], and [[York County, Virginia|York County]].<ref name="Leg">{{Cite web|url=https://apps.senate.virginia.gov/Senator/memberpage.php?id=S102|title= T. Montgomery "Monty" Mason|publisher=Senate of Virginia|access-date=August 1, 2019}}</ref> |
|||
The district overlaps with Virginia's [[Virginia's 1st congressional district|1st]], [[Virginia's 2nd congressional district|2nd]], and [[Virginia's 3rd congressional district|3rd congressional districts]], and with the [[Virginia's 76th House of Delegates district|76th]], [[Virginia's 92nd House of Delegates district|92nd]], [[Virginia's 93rd House of Delegates district|93rd]], [[Virginia's 94th House of Delegates district|94th]], [[Virginia's 95th House of Delegates district|95th]], and [[Virginia's 96th House of Delegates district|96th]] districts of the [[Virginia House of Delegates]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/30/1848730/-How-do-counties-House-districts-and-legislative-districts-all-overlap-These-new-tools-show-you|author=David Jarman|title=How do counties, House districts, and legislative districts all overlap?|publisher=Daily Kos|access-date=June 7, 2021}}</ref> |
