Background

Summarize
Perspective

In the 2017 Virginia House of Delegates election, Republicans held on to a slim majority of 51-49 after a drawing in a tied race went in their favor. In those elections Democrats gained 15 seats in what was widely considered a rebuke of the presidency of President Donald Trump.[2][3]

Since the last elections several State House districts were redrawn, following a federal district court decision that struck down 11 districts for racial discrimination.[4] The Republican majority in the House of Delegates appealed the decision directly to the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court affirmed the district court's decision in a 5–4 vote, arguing that the House of Delegates lacked standing in the case.[5]

In the aftermath of the 2019 Virginia Beach shooting, Governor Ralph Northam called for a special session of the Virginia Legislature in order for it to consider different gun-control bills. The House of Delegates reconvened on July 9, 2019 only for it to adjourn again after 90 minutes of session. This decision was made on a party-line vote. Northam expressed his disappointment that no gun-control measures were considered. Then-Speaker of the House of Delegates Kirk Cox called the special session "just an election year stunt". He criticized the Democrats' focus on gun-control bills without considering mental health and penalization of crimes.[6]
