Yesterday, the Reapportionament commission gave its initial approval to a House and Senate District plan for Denver and Arapahoe Counties.

The Senate plan puts both Joyce Foster (my current senator) and Pat Steadman (one of my oldest friends) in the same senate district (SD31).

Joyce has said she will not run for re-election in 2012 if it means challeging an incumbent. I am happy she has said this as I would hate to have to choose between them.

The Reapportionment Commission has actually initally approved maps for the whole state at this point. They will use the month of Augustto to take public testimony on the maps throught the state and then make adjustments as necessary to pass a final map.
