Redistricting Puts Goochland in the 5th Congressional District for 2022 Mid terms and beyond

The VA Supreme Court appointed two special masters to redraw the maps which happens every ten years.  The special masters were appointed after the Redistricting Commission was unable to fulfill its mission to create non partisan district maps.  

Goochland is in the 5th Congressional District and the seat is currently held by Republican Bob Good.
Goochland is in the 10th Senate District.  This is a new district and there is no incumbent for this district.
Goochland continues to be split in the House of Delegates.  The majority of Goochland is now in the 56th District represented by John McGuire.  The new 57th District is a new district and does not have an incumbent.  It is made up of 90% Henrico and 10% Goochland.

Goochland Education Foundation (GEF) now set-up for the William Quarles Scholarship

GDC members and friends can send their checks to Larry Finnegan, GDC Treasurer at PO Box 125, Goochland, VA 23063. Please write "William Quarles Scholarship Fund" in the memo line. We'd like the GDC to be the biggest contributor to the scholarship.

If folks prefer to send the check directly to the Goochland Educational Foundation (GEF), write in the memo line of the check "William Quarles Scholarship Fund" and send the funds to:
Goochland Education Foundation
2938-I River Road W
Goochland, VA 23063
​
GEF will set all funds received for this scholarship aside and once $1,000 is raised, they can offer a scholarship. The GDC already has $450 earmarked for the scholarship
.
This is a wonderful tribute to William! We hope donations come in quickly so the scholarship can be used for this year's seniors.
