With senate districts as large and diverse as Districts 18 and 23, it’s interesting to note where the candidates live in relation to the rest of their district and constituents. The Google Maps application below shows the two districts (District 23 is in blue, District 18 is in yellow) and where candidates reside within their district. As you can see, the candidates, with the exception of Greg Bass, all reside in the greater Chapel Hill area. Use the “get directions” feature to find out how far you live from the person who could or does represent you. Also note that county lines drawn in the map are not intended to be precise. For those in Durham County who are unsure what district they reside in (as some precincts are split in half), I’m working on a map application that will show the exact senate district boundaries in the county.
