Info | Bobby Mathieson has the experience and knowledge to protect Virginia Beach families and create Virginia Beach jobs in his service as our delegate for the 21st House District. Bobby began his career in Virginia Beach and served 27 years on the police force, working street patrol, vice and narcotics. He even served as the school resource officer at his sons’ middle school, enhancing community relations.
After years of advocating for additional public safety funding for Virginia Beach police officers, he was appointed by both Governor Mark Warner and Governor Tim Kaine to assist in managing the Department of Criminal Justice Services with a budget of over $300 million and 400 employees. While serving at DCJS, Bobby served on several groups to enhance public safety: the Commonwealth Preparedness Working Group, the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Biased-Based Policing, the Governor’s Task Force on Preventing Crime in Virginia’s Minority Communities, and the Virginia State Crime Commission Sex Offender Task Force.
As our delegate, Bobby has already made his mark of service in the House, passing bills cracking down on gangs, sexual predators, and other violent offenders and helping to secure additional funding for the Internet Crimes Against Children’s Task Force (Alicia’s Law). He helped lead the fight to address the tragedy at Virginia Tech by securing passage of a bill to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. He has also worked to protect and create jobs, attract new businesses to Virginia and get our economy turned around.
Bobby and his wife, Terry, have lived in Virginia Beach for over 30 years. Their oldest boy, Bobby Jr., graduated from Virginia Tech last winter, and their second child Danny is attending Old Dominion University.
