| Description | State Sen. Ted Gaines is planning to pull up stakes in the wake of a redistricting change that places his Roseville home inside fellow Republican Sen. Doug LaMalfa’s District 4.
Gaines said that he’ll have to move at least a quarter mile to remain in District 1 and meet state Senate residency requirements. The part of east Roseville he lives in has been shifted into District 4 as part of remapping by the California Redistricting Commission. The redistricting of electoral boundaries was finalized last week.
Gaines said that he would have to move from a residence his family has lived in for 18 years and one possibility is to relocate in Granite Bay.
But Gaines added that while he believes the newly reshaped district is a good fit – it’s about a 70 percent overlap with the old District 1 lines – there’s a possibility changes could happen if a possible referendum or court battle materialize. |
