until I started getting primary election materials and newsletters from a Rep. I had never heard of. I've literally lived in the same district (with various Reps during that time, and after a couple residence moves) for almost 30 years, and suddenly boom! I'm literally a block from the new line and scraped into an adjacent district. 
The incumbent, a (D), ended up getting primaried this past spring, so we are all starting from scratch.
The gerrymandered state legislative seats, even when challenged and slightly modified in 2012, were still an egregious gerrymander thanks to the trifecta the GOP had in state government (including the judiciary). We are finally getting the benefit of "fair districts" by having some "say" thanks to a (D) governor and (D)-majority state Supreme Court during a census period.
As an interesting note - one of the seats moved to the east ended up in Lancaster County so Lancaster was able to now have 2 (D)s coming out of the county (including a new one from the city proper).
