Virginia’s 1st Senate district is one of 40 districts in the Senate of Virginia.
Since the 2023 Virginia Senate election, the state senator has been Republican Timmy French.
It had been represented by Democrat Monty Mason since his victory in a 2016 special election following the death of fellow Democrat John Miller.[3]
As of the 2023 Virginia Senate election, District 1 is located in northern Virginia, including all of Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, and Warren counties and the independent city of Winchester.[4]
The district overlaps with Virginia’s 6th congressional district and with the 31st, 32nd, and 33rd districts of the Virginia House of Delegates. The district is made up of areas that were previously part of the 26th and 27th Virginia Senate districts.[4]
Before the 2023 elections, District 1 was located in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area in southeastern Virginia, including all of Williamsburg and parts of Hampton, Newport News, Suffolk, James City County, and York County.[3]
