Virginia's 39th Senate district

Virginia's 39th Senate district is one of 40 districts in the Senate of Virginia. It has been represented by Democrat George Barker since his 2007 defeat of Republican incumbent Jay O'Brien.

Geography
District 39 covers parts of Alexandria, Fairfax County, and Prince William County in the suburbs of Washington D.C., including some or all of Rose Hill, Franconia, Newington, Lorton, Lake Ridge, and Buckhall.

The district overlaps with Virginia's 1st, 8th, 10th, and 11th congressional districts, and with the 13th, 39th, 40th, 42nd, 43rd, 46th, and 51st districts of the Virginia House of Delegates.

Historical results
All election results below took place prior to 2011 redistricting, and thus were under different district lines.

2002 special
As a result of redistricting prior to the 2003 elections, District 39 moved from Southwest Virginia to Northern Virginia, causing then-incumbent Madison Marye to resign and forcing a special election.
