Jeffrey M. Frederick (born September 23, 1975) is an American politician. He served three terms as a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Frederick was also chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia and a member of the Republican National Committee.
Born to an American father and Colombian mother, Frederick spent his early childhood in Northern Virginia before moving to Florida after his stepfather's retirement from the U.S. Navy. He graduated from Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg following his junior year, having been admitted to Emory University in Atlanta after three years of high school. He received degrees from Oxford (1995) and Emory (1997) colleges in Economics and Political Science. In 2001, he married Amy Elizabeth Noone and they have two daughters and a son. Frederick's personal interests include sailing and cycling.
Frederick was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in November 2003 after defeating John A. "Jack" Rollison III, a 17-year incumbent Republican state legislator from Northern Virginia, in the June Republican primary with 58% of the vote. In the general election, he took the position that there was plenty of money in Richmond if adequately prioritized for transportation and pledged to cut waste from the state government, opposing tax increases for transportation improvements, such as funding for adding lanes to Interstate 95 or additional cars for the Virginia Railway Express, both of which were eventually achieved without an increase in transportation taxes.
Frederick is the first known Hispanic to be elected to any position in Virginia state government. First elected at age 28, he was also the youngest member of the legislature at that time.
He represented Eastern Prince William County in the Virginia General Assembly.
