State Sen. Janet Howell whose 32nd district includes McLean, will be a key player this year's redistricting battle because she heads the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee. "We are charged with approving a redistricting plan for the state Senate and, along with the House, the US Congressional districts," she said. "We now know the population total for Virginia," said Howell. " We also know that Northern Virginia will pick up a Senate seat. However, since the population growth in uneven the impact on various districts is going to vary. One thing for certain, every Senate seat will have to be changed significantly," she said. "We do not know where the (new) district will be because Census will not send the needed data until February. Lots of people are creating scenarios but I think it is premature," said Howell, who started holding hearings on redistricting this fall.
