Robert Gerald "Bob" Marshall (born May 3, 1944) is a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates representing the 13th District, currently serving his 11th term. His district includes portions of Prince William and Loudoun counties. A follower of the Catholic Church teachings, Marshall has habitually backed strictly conservative legislation, including bills to limit or ban abortion and decrease legal protection of the LGBT community.
In 2008, Marshall ran for the United States Senate seat being vacated by John Warner. On May 31, 2008, Marshall finished second to Jim Gilmore by 66 votes out of over 10,000 cast at the Republican convention. In January 2012, Marshall announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Jim Webb. He lost in the Republican June primary to George Allen, winning only 7 percent of the vote.
Marshall received his education from Montgomery College, Belmont Abbey College, and California State University, Northridge. Before election to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1991, Marshall was a staffer for the American Life League, an organization which opposes all forms of abortion and birth control. After his election, he continued to work for the organization, including a stint as Executive Director in the mid-1990s and now as a research consultant. He belongs to the All Saints Catholic Church in Manassas, Virginia. His sister is actress Paula Marshall.
