Virginia's 11th House of Delegates district elects one of the 100 members of the Virginia House of Delegates. Located in northern Virginia, District 11 includes the city of Fairfax and parts of Fairfax County. District 11 is represented by Democrat Gretchen Bulova.
Elections
2013 The seat was held by Democrat Sam Rasoul from 2013. Incumbent Onzlee Ware resigned in late 2012 to spend time with an ailing family member, prompting a special election in January 2013. Rasoul won the low-turnout contest, in which just 14% of eligible voters participated. Rasoul earned 70% of the vote, defeating Roanoke’s Republican sheriff Octavia Johnson.
