Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
Not sure how gerrymandering will work out...
...but rumor mill is already saying that Joe Sam Queen may run for Phil's seat, leaving John Snow to run against Jim Davis for the Senate seat in the southwestern tip of the state.

Great use of the word
We really shouldn't be talking about "redistricting" at all. The proper term is indeed "gerrymandering."
(Sometimes I'm slow on the uptake.)

How much will Phil's seat cost?
In 2010, Jim Davis spent almost $600,000 to beat John Snow by 161 votes.
