Virginia legislative district From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virginia's 68th House of Delegates district elects one of 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, the lower house of the state's bicameral legislature. District 68, comprising King William County, King & Queen County, Gloucester County, Mathews County, Middlesex County, and Essex County, is represented by Republican M. Keith Hodges.[1]
From 2008 to 2018, the 68th district was represented by Republican Manoli Loupassi from 2008 to 2018.[2] He lost his 2017 reelection bid to Dawn Adams by 325 votes (of more than 40,000 cast).[3] Adams represented the district from 2018 to 2024, and did not seek re-election following redistricting that would have re-aligned her seat to the 78th District.[4]
The 68th district is one of 11 House of Delegates districts that courts found unconstitutionally gerrymandered by race and was redrawn effective August 31, 2023.[5]
