LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Did gerrymander influence Christine Watkins’ switch?

By Sun Advocate

Editor:
Interesting to read the recent article in the Sun Advocate regarding the transition of State Representative Christine Watkins from a democratic teachers union official in her first legislative session to now the Republican party. Her recently announced new political views fit in nicely with the present complement of the legislature. In viewing her switch in parties, one wonders if the gerrymandering invoked upon District 69 after the 2010 census influenced her decision?
