WINA reports that Delgate Earl Dickinson is quitting the state politics business. After the recent redistricting, his once-rural district now includes Henrico County, which isn’t an area that he’s interested in representing. (Richmond is in Henrico.) Dickinson feels it’s likely that other state Democrats will not re-run as a result of the redistricting.

Yep, the new districting specifically targets the homes of democratic representatives, gerrymandering such that they will oppose each other or live in strong republican areas.
Waldo,
Richmond is not in Henrico.

Well, it’s as about in Henrico as a city can be in Virginia. :)
