On Tuesday, Del. Paul Milde (HD 64) announced his re-election campaign as a Republican.
“When I was elected to the House of Delegates,” he wrote in the press release, “I pledged to work on behalf of the people of Stafford to improve the quality of life in our community and region, and to make Virginia stronger, safer, and more affordable.”
He referenced a number of policy positions in the announcement, including backing Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s tax relief proposals, reducing energy costs, reducing gridlock, educational choice, and preserving girls sports for girls alone.
Milde previously served on the Stafford Board of Supervisors and is in his first term as a member of the House of Delegates in the General Assembly, having won HD 64 in November 2023.
In 2024 he was the chief patron of 11 bills, three of which were focused on celebrations of life. Of the remaining eight, all were killed but HB1385, which deals with disclosure of student information to the superintendent when a student is charged with an offense (currently in House), and HB 1257, which deals with coverage for the diminished value of personal property.
At this time, Milde has no competitor. The district is designated as Leans Republican by VPAP. In 2024, however, Donald Trump carried the district by just 2 percentage points, and Derrick Anderson carried the district over Eugene Vindman by 3 percentage points. In the race for U.S. Senate, Democrat Tim Kaine bested Republican Hung Cao by 0.1 percentage points.
