RSLC Congratulates Todd Gilbert on Nomination for Speaker

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) President Dee Duncan today congratulated Todd Gilbert on being unanimously elected by the Virginia House Republican Caucus on Sunday to serve as Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates. Gilbert worked closely with the RSLC over the last year to help flip seven House seats and return control of the chamber to Republicans.

“The RSLC was proud to work hand-in-hand with Todd Gilbert to take back the Virginia House. Few gave us a chance at the beginning of the cycle, but Todd’s tireless work ethic and steady leadership allowed us to snap a three cycle street of net seat losses in the Old Dominion and pull off a remarkable upset. He will make a fantastic Speaker and we congratulate him on his nomination."

“We also congratulate Delegates Terry Kilgore, Kathy Byron, and Jay Leftwich for their elections to leadership positions within the House Republican Caucus. Virginia is in great hands with this team of common-sense conservatives who all share Glenn Youngkin’s optimistic vision for the future commonwealth. We look forward to continuing to support Virginia Republicans as they work to lower the cost of living, empower parents, and protect communities.”
