Introducing Dave LaRock, a devoted family man, and dedicated public servant who has built a strong foundation of conservative values throughout his life. A true believer in God and the Constitution, Dave has spent years making a positive impact in his community in both his personal and professional life.

Dave LaRock

Together with Joanne, his loving wife of 41 years, the couple has raised seven children and welcomed 19 grandchildren into their lives. The LaRock family, a pillar of the Shenandoah Valley community, has made the conscious decision to homeschool their children, ensuring that future generations have the same choice available to them.

Since 2014, Dave has been a staunch advocate for Clarke County and Northeast Frederick County in the Virginia House of Delegates. Now, he is ready to take his commitment to service one step further by running for Virginia’s 1st Senate District, encompassing Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties, as well as the City of Winchester.

Dave is no stranger to the people of the Shenandoah Valley. Over the years, he has earned their trust and respect as a man who keeps his word and stands up for his principles. Dave promises to continue providing honest, fair, and conservative leadership in the 1st Senate District, fighting for high-quality services and lower taxes for all.

Throughout their lives, Dave and Joanne have been active in their local homeschool network and church community, supporting family members who dedicate their time to helping impoverished communities in Belize, Ghana, and Brazil.

Dave’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through his successful small business as a general contractor. As the manager of the business, he has demonstrated his ability to innovate, solve problems, negotiate complex contracts, and interact with government agencies. Dave’s success in managing large-scale projects within budget constraints is a testament to his leadership skills.

In his five terms as a member of the House of Delegates, Dave has been a steadfast advocate for educational choice, the 2nd Amendment, protecting life, parental rights, religious liberty, medical freedom, and transportation issues. He has also championed local needs, such as ensuring fair real estate taxes for businesses and homeowners, protecting property rights and prime farmland, supporting local first responders, and more. Dave is determined to expedite improvements to I-81, expand rural broadband, and fight against wasteful energy policies and the drug epidemic.

Fearless in the face of opposition, Dave LaRock stands firm in his convictions, ready to defend our conservative values against any challenge. To learn more about Dave and his campaign, visit www.VoteLaRock.us and on FacebookTwitterYouTube, and other social media sites.
