District 31 of the Virginia Senate is a senatorial district that encompasses portions of Arlington County, Fairfax County and Loudoun County in the U.S. state of Virginia. The current Senator from District 31 is Barbara Favola. ==Historical boundaries== From 1940 to 1956, Senate District 31 comprised the counties of Caroline, Essex, Goochland, Hanover, King and Queen, King William and Middlesex.〔Handbook of the Virginia General Assembly, 1942〕 Between 1956 - 1962, the district included the eastern end of the Virginia Peninsula comprising the counties of Mathews, Gloucester, Warwick, York, James City, New Kent, and the Independent City of Williamsburg. From 1962 - 1964, the district included all of York County and the City of Hampton. From 1964 - 1968, the district included the City of Hampton and a portion of the City of Newport News. As a result of the United States Supreme Court's ruling in the case of ''Davis v. Mann'' regarding the principle of One person, one vote, the Virginia General Assembly was redistricted mid-decade and only 30 Senate districts were created, some of which were multi-member. Accordingly, there was no 31st District from 1968 - 1972. In 1971, as a result of a regular decennial redistricting, the 31st District was recreated and covered most of Arlington County from 1972 - 1992.〔The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia 1962 - 1981. Compiled by the Staff and Clerk of the House of Delegates, Richmond 1983.〕 From 1992 - 2002 the district included part of Arlington County and all of the City of Falls Church and from 2002 - 2012, a part of Fairfax County was added. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Virginia Senate, District 31」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
