Though the statewide Republican nominations were decided at a closed convention in May, some districts chose to have an open primary for Republican nominations for the House of Delegates. Tim Cox emerged the winner of the Republican primary in district 51.

Cox competed against Jeff Dove, a former candidate for Congress in the 11th district in 2018 and the 10th district in 2020. Cox, who is considered the more conservative of the two, ran on a platform centered around “faith”, “family”, and “freedom”, and he has been endorsed by controversial leaders such as former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and Supervisor Jeanine Lawson (R-Brentsville).

A member of the U.S. Navy Reserve, Cox has lived in Woodbridge for almost five years.

Cox will face off against Democratic nominee Briana Sewell in the November general election.
