RICHMOND, Va. - Delegate Kirk Cox, R-Colonial Heights, has his sights set on the Virginia executive mansion in November, but first he must beat six other candidates for the Republican nomination.
It’s the first time Cox, the former speaker of the House, is running for governor. Cox, 63, has served as a state delegate since 1990 and was elected as speaker of the House by a unanimous vote in 2018. He served one term in the position before Democrats took control of the Virginia General Assembly.
