Welcome to...
Virginia House of Delegates 48th District!
Virginia’s 48th Delegate District covers much of north Arlington and the area along the Potomac from Chain Bridge to National Airport. I’m proud to have represented the 48th District’s citizens in Richmond since 1998. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read about my background, the legislation I’ve championed in Richmond, and my stand on the issues that matter to Arlington, Northern Virginia, and the Commonwealth.
I encourage you to visit my website often. Through the blog on this page I intend to keep you informed on what I see happening on a state level and what it means for Arlington. Please contact me if you have any questions or if there’s an issue involving state government that I can help you resolve.

Governor McDonnell’s Commission on Government Reform and Restructuring, on which I serve, has scheduled a series of public town hall meetings to give Virginians a chance to present ideas on improving delivery of government services. The first town hall will be in Northern Virginia this Thursday (July 8th) from 2:00 to 3:30 PM at Capital One headquarters in Tysons Corner. Similar meetings are scheduled across the Commonwealth during the rest of July.
A town meeting is a form of democracy frequently used in the United States since the 1600s: people in a geographic area come together to discuss issues at a forum. It is often used as an opportunity for voters to ask questions of elected officials. And that is just what Senator Whipple, Delegate Hope and I are planning:
Priorities in education, transportation, the environment, health care and our community values are being questioned. It is time for us as a community to talk about what is important to us and what we must work to preserve. Please make your voice heard at the Town Meeting. If you can’t be there, send me an email to delbrink@comcast.net with your thoughts
