  • This election will be held on November 7, 2023. Incumbent Republican Delegate Bobby Orrock is facing a challenge from Democratic candidate Mark Lux in the general election for Virginia’s new 66th House of Delegates district. Delegate Orrock has served in the House of Delegates since 1990.
    Democrat Mark Lux is a Special Education teacher in Prince William County for children with Autism. After graduating as a 2nd Lieutenant, Lux attended Columbia University and earned a Master's in International Affairs. He then served with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and later became the Company Commander for a Military Police Reserve unit on Long Island. After leaving the Army, Lux worked in several managerial positions before earning a Master's in Special Education from Ohio University.

    Lux will be a vote for healthcare across the board. He pledges to support abortion access without government interference and supports policies that ensure people have control over their own healthcare decisions. Additionally, Lux supports increased funding for mental health services, which he believes will help support schools and ensure that those who need help will get it.

    Lux promises to push for transparency and a culture of respect. He says that, as a non-politician, a Veteran, and a Special Education Teacher, he is committed to putting people over politics and to working towards common-sense solutions that benefit everyone. He is committed to promoting a culture where individuals can live and learn without fear of violence or discrimination. He strongly denounces political extremism and election deniers and is committed to upholding the integrity of our democratic process.

    As a special education teacher, Lux understands the importance of proper funding for public education. He argues that we need to commit to increased funding and support for public education and teacher training and recognizes the critical role that education plays in shaping the future of our society. He believes that we must invest in our schools and teachers to ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

    As a veteran, Lux is intimately familiar with the challenges facing both active and retired military. He wants to ensure they get the support and resources they need and denounces dictatorial aggression at home and abroad.

    Incumbent Republican Delegate Bobby Orrock is a far-right conservative elected to the House of Delegates in 1990. Orrock does not support access to abortion and voted against the Equal Rights Amendment. He was a staunch opponent of Medicaid expansion in Virginia. Additionally, he voted against raising the minimum wage, the Voting Rights Act of Virginia, and ending the death penalty.

    Given his positions on healthcare, public education funding, and government transparency, Lux is the progressive choice in this race.
