Rep. Cline Statement on Virginia Delegate Ronnie Campbell’s Passing

  Today, Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) issued the following statement upon hearing the news of Virginia Delegate Ronnie Campbell’s passing.

“Elizabeth and I are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and our Delegate, Ronnie Campbell,” Rep. Cline said. “Ronnie served our community and Commonwealth with dedication and distinction. He made a career in law enforcement with the Virginia State Police, serving both in northern Virginia and in Rockbridge County. He pursued higher education and spent time as a contractor, giving him added insights into the impact government regulations can have on small businesses. Ronnie was driven to serve both his Rockbridge community and his home county of Augusta. He represented constituents as a member of the Rockbridge County School Board and as a member of the Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors. His repeated successful runs for local office led to his election to the Virginia House of Delegates representing the 24th House District. Ronnie spent countless hours devoted to public service. We shared the privilege of representing the 24th House District, and he will long be remembered by the people of the District. Elizabeth and I are praying for the Campbell family during this difficult time.”

Congressman Ben Cline represents the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia. He previously was an attorney in private practice and served both as an assistant prosecutor and Member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Cline and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Botetourt County with their two children.
