In 2006 he was re-elected as the top vote getter, with over 50% of the ballots cast, running in a field of 10 candidates. In 2009 Ron won the 21st district House of Delegates seat in Virginia Beach, becoming the first Filipino-American (Fil-Am) elected to Virginia state government. He currently sits on the Transportation Committee, Courts of Justice Committee and the Finance Committee, the committee most responsible for protecting our tax dollars and creating a pro-jobs environment for the Commonwealth.
