It always struck me that if Bob Marshall got anything other than a zero from EV, he would demand a recount. Josh –

You list Delegate Bob Marshall as having a relatively respectable 29% Equality Virginia ranking. This is an easy mistake given that Delegate DANNY Marshall (of Danville) earned that score. Delegate Bob Marshall, as one would expect, has a 0% Equality Virginia score. And I suspect that number is unlikely to go up any time soon. Of course, it's always been amazing to me that in a legislature of 100 you have two Wares (1 D, 1 R), two Marshalls (2 Rs), two Howells (1 D, 1 R), two Joneses (1 D, 1 R), and two Scotts (1 D, 1 R).

Let the record state that Kristen and I (and Katie) will suffer through consuming his portion. For America. Er, Virginia. :) David- On second thought, maybe you shouldn’t let Brink have any of Shayna’s cookies. Let the record state that Kristen and I (and Katie) will suffer through consuming his portion.

Subsequently, after every regular election, Members can ask for a new office on the basis of seniority. The offices on the front of the floor, featuring a view of the Capitol, are thought to be premium space: so on 7-West they're occupied by Phil Hamilton (1988), Dwight Jones (1994), Jack Reid (1990), and Bob Marshall (1992). Personally, I like the view out the back, overlooking the Library of Virginia and John Marshall's house. Vivian –

You've got my delegate in the "group of 14" along with some others from around the state that I know. Quick question: how are offices assigned? It seems such mismash of people in that area.
