Delegate Bobby Orrock has been working to tackle the important challenges facing Virginians – jobs, the economy, transportation, federal mandates, and education improvements. Bobby is committed to working with the Republican Caucus to advance pro-business and job creating legislation, to make our transportation system more effective, medical care more affordable, improve K-12 education and to make higher education more accessible. His focus is on legislation that is in the best interest of his district and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Bobby serves on the Committees of Health, Welfare and Institutions; Finance; and Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources.
At 400 years of age, the Virginia General Assembly has the proud distinction of being the oldest continuously elected lawmaking body in the Americas. I am grateful to be serving as your delegate once again!
