Redistricting caused the 13th district to be moved from Hampton Roads to Northern Virginia and the 22nd district to be moved from the Roanoke area to a district stretching from Lynchburg to Richmond. Republicans gained two seats, making the Senate tied with 20 Democrats and 20 Republicans. This allowed Republicans to reclaim a majority, as the Republican Lieutenant Governor broke the tie. However, from January 28 to June 12, 2014, Democrats held a majority as they won the Lieutenant Governorship in the 2013 elections, but then later lost a seat in a special election, thereby giving Republicans a 21-19 majority. http://www.sbe.virginia.gov/webdocs/candidates/2011UnofficialGeneralAssemblyCandidateList.xls 2011 Official General Assembly Candidates List dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130813124632/http://www.sbe.virginia.gov/Files/Cast%20Your%20Ballot/Candidate%20List/2011OfficialGeneralAssemblyCandidateList.xls 2013-08-13 Four incumbent senators chose to retire: Fred Quayle (R-13), Patsy Ticer (D-30), Mary Margaret Whipple (D-31), and William Wampler Jr. (R-40).
