Virginia Senate, District 36

District 36 of the Virginia Senate is a senatorial district that encompasses portions of Fairfax County in the U.S. state of Virginia. The current Senator from District 36 is Toddy Puller.

Historical boundaries

From 1940 to 1956, due to the fact that there were five multi-member Senate districts in the 40-member body, there was no Districts numbered 36 - 40.

In 1956, the 36th Senate District included all of the City of Alexandria. As a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the one person, one vote case of Davis v. Mann (1964), the General Assembly redistricted itself in 1964 and again eliminated the 36th District in favor of multi-member Senate districts. Beginning in 1972, as a result of a regular decennial redistricting, the 36th Senate District included portions of Fairfax County, chiefly in the Mount Vernon magisterial district and the Lee magisterial district. From 2002 to 2011, the District included parts of Fairfax and Prince William counties.

Current boundaries

All Virginia Senate districts were redrawn in 2011 and the 2011 elections are being contested in these districts. The 36th District comprises parts of the neighborhoods of Groveton, Hayfield, Hybla Valley, Lorton and Newington in Fairfax County. In Prince William County, the district includes much of the eastern-most areas, including Dale City, Montclair, Quantico and Woodbridge. Three precincts in Stafford County are included. All of the Stafford County areas are new to the district.
