Current House of Delegates speaker Todd Gilbert issued a statement yesterday after Virginia Democrats clawed back both chambers of the General Assembly on Tuesday night.

The Woodstock Delegate said on social media that while Tuesday’s outcome was not what he had hoped for, he was still grateful for the hard work and dedication that G-O-P candidates and their teams put in over the last two years.

He added that Republicans will once again assume the role of loyal opposition against the Democratic majority.

Democrats held on to their slight advantage in the Senate and now have a one-seat lead in the House as well.

The House is expected to elect Don Scott as its first-ever Black speaker on Saturday.
