Meet the Republican Who Could Take over Virginia in Doomsday Scenario for Democrats

Virginia Speaker of the House of Delegates Kirk Cox could become the first Republican governor in nearly a decade if Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, and Attorney General Mark Herring resign amidst their political scandals.
In January 2018, the Virginia House of Delegates unanimously elected Cox to serve as the Speaker of Virginia’s lower chamber. Kirk became the first Speaker in Virginian history from Colonial Heights and the first Speaker from Chesterfield County since the 1800s, as well as the first Speaker who was a public school teacher.
Before serving as Speaker, Cox was the Majority Leader from 2010 to 2018 and served as Majority Whip before then.
During his 2017 campaign, Cox emphasized creating Virginia jobs, reducing unnecessary government spending, promoting Virginia public education, and increasing the affordability of higher education.
Cox made headlines last week when he delivered a dramatic Virginia House floor speech, citing the Bible in his vow to fight against Democrats’ push for late-term abortions.
The Virginia House leader said he was horrified last week when New York state passed a law to make it easier to obtain late-term abortions.
“Governor Northam vowed to enact [the same law] if Democrats take over the House and Senate in 2019,” Cox said, referring to the 2019 Virginia state elections, which could give Democrats control of the state House and Senate.
“I will never stop fighting for the promise of life, as long as I hold a gavel, as long as I can speak in this microphone,” Cox added, which led to Republican delegates clapping in thunderous applause.
