Scott Flax
Scott Flax is Hampton Roads born and Virginia Beach bred. He knows full well what a wonderful place Virginia Beach is in which to live and raise our kids. Scott understands Virginia Beach’s challenges and its successes and that’s why he is running to represent the 82nd District in the House of Delegates.
Scott grew up in Virginia Beach, playing baseball for most of his life, and when he wasn’t, he was playing rec basketball or hanging out at the beach with friends. When he graduated from the Washington College of Law, in D.C., in 2004, he knew he wasn’t staying there. He came home. He began working for Tavss Fletcher, where he is now a partner, and married Leah, the love of his life, whom he had known since high school. They live in Thalia with their three wonderful boys and their dog.
Community involvement has been an integral part of Scott’s life from a young age. When Scott was in high school, the tragic death of a close friend led him and several classmates to start the D.A. Taylor Charitable Foundation. They’ve raised nearly half a million dollars and have helped 11 young people attend college in the 14 years since they began. He served on the Bay Colony Civic League board and served as the President of the Thalia Civic League. He is the vice president of Jewish Family Services, a premier social service agency that has helped thousands of families and individuals in need in the Hampton Roads area since 1946. As a lawyer, Scott advocates for his clients, and if elected delegate to the 82nd District, he will advocate for his constituents and bring their voices to Richmond.
