Bloxom Wins Virginia GOP Primary

Robert Bloxom, Jr.

Eastern Shore Republican business owner Robert Bloxom Jr. won his party's nomination Saturday to vie for a vacant 100th District House of Delegates seat in a special election later this month.

Bloxom will face Democrat Willie Randall, a former Northampton County supervisor, Feb. 25 to fill the seat formerly held by Eastern Shore Democrat Lynwood Lewis, who was elected to the state Senate. The General Assembly adjourns March 8.

The 100th House District includes Accomack and Northampton counties and part of Norfolk.

Bloxom defeated Melody Scalley, also from the Eastern Shore, who ran for the seat in 2009. He is the owner of Shore Tire and Auto, Bloxom Auto Supply and Egret Point Seafood, according to campaign materials.

Bloxom's father represented the 100th District before Lewis.
