This list shows all politicians for the 1799 State of Virginia to the United States House of Representatives have listened. The former British colony was represented in the first and second Congress with ten members each in the Chamber of Parliament, which was still sitting in Philadelphia at that time , one seat of which was assigned to Kentucky County , from which the state of Kentucky emerged in 1792 . After various adjustments, caused by censuses , the number of MPs rose temporarily to 23; later it went back to 13. During the civil war , Virginia initially only had five parliamentarians from the areas of the state loyal to the Union, from which the state of West Virginia emerged in 1863 ; Virginia was then no longer represented in the House of Representatives until 1870. By the time Reconstruction was completed in 1873, three of the eleven official seats remained vacant. Thereafter, the number of MPs moved between nine and ten, before the state was awarded another seat from the 1992 election, so that to this day eleven politicians from Virginia sit in the lower house of Congress .

As a rule, voting was carried out separately according to constituencies . Only in 1882 was the tenth mandate awarded nationwide ("at-large"); In 1932 the entire congressional election took place nationwide.

With James Madison and John Tyler , two future US presidents for Virginia sat in the House of Representatives. The state also provided four House spokesmen, Philip Pendleton Barbour , Andrew Stevenson , Robert Mercer Taliaferro Hunter and John Winston Jones .
