Delegate Todd Gilbert represents the 15th district in the Virginia House of Delegates; it includes all of Page, Rappahannock and Shenandoah Counties and a portion of Rockingham County. He was first elected to the House in 2005 and is a member of the Courts of Justice Committee, the Militia Police and Public Safety Committee, the General Laws Committee and the Privileges and Elections Committee. He also serves on the Commission of Virginia's Alcohol Safety Action Program, which supervises all DUI offenders in the Commonwealth, and the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission. He was appointed by the Speaker of the House as one of Virginia's representatives to the Southern Growth Policies Board and the Education Committee of the National Conference of State Legislatures. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation.

     Prior to his election to the House of Delegates, Delegate Gilbert began his career as a full-time prosecutor. His first job was with the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Lynchburg, where he was a member of the Violent Crime Prosecution Team. In 1999, he was fortunate to be able to return home and work in the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney for Shenandoah County for eight years where he was lead prosecutor in a number of major cases. After his election to the House, Gilbert worked for two years as a prosecutor in the Warren County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office. For several years, he taught the art of trial advocacy at the annual trial advocacy school for new Virginia prosecutors. Taking advantage of his experience in Virginia's criminal justice system, Gilbert's primary legislative focus is public safety.

     Gilbert is a 1989 graduate of Central High School of Woodstock, where he served as student body president and played three varsity sports. He then attended the University of Virginia, where he earned his bachelors degree in Government in 1993 having interned for a summer in the Capitol Hill office of then U.S. Representative George Allen. Upon graduation, he attended the Southern Methodist University School of Law, where he earned his law degree in 1996 and also led the student body as president of the Student Bar Association. While at SMU Law, Gilbert won the school's annual mock trial competition and participated on the school's competitive mock trial team.
