Virginia's 21st Senate district


Virginia's 21st Senate district is one of 40 districts in the Senate of Virginia. It has been represented by Democratic Senator John S. Edwards since 1996. Although it voted for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, it is currently the most Republican-leaning district to be represented by a Democrat.

Geography

District 21 comprises the most Democratic-leaning parts of Southwest Virginia, including all of the City of Roanoke and Giles County, as well as part of Montgomery County and a small sliver of Roanoke County.
The district overlaps with U.S. congressional districts 6 and 9, and Virginia House of Delegates districts 7, 8, 11, 12, and 17. It borders the state of West Virginia.
