2025 Virginia House of Delegates election


The 2025 Virginia House of Delegates election was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, to elect members of the 164th Virginia General Assembly. All 100 delegates are elected to two-year terms in single-member districts. Nomination primaries conducted by the Department of Elections were held June 17, 2025. Three incumbents, Democrats Delores McQuinn and Patrick Hope, and Republican Terry Austin, faced primary challengers, none of which were successful.
The House elections were held concurrently with the gubernatorial, lieutenant gubernatorial, and attorney general elections. The in-person early voting period ran from September 19 to November 1, 2025.
Democrats won in a landslide, gaining 13 seats, greatly expanding their majority in the House of Delegates, and gaining their largest majority since 1987. Don Scott was re-elected Speaker after the election.

Background

In the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris won 59 districts, while Donald Trump won 41. Republicans represent eight districts won by Harris in 2024. Following the 2023 election, Democrats regained control of the House of Delegates that was lost to the Republicans in 2021. Democrats held a narrow majority of 51 seats prior to the election.

Retirements

Five incumbents, all Republican, did not seek re-election.

  1. District 33: Todd Gilbert resigned his seat July 14 to be appointed interim United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia
  2. District 46: Jed Arnold will retire at the end of his term.
