1988 United States Senate election in Virginia GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
The 1988 United States Senate election in Virginia was held on November 8, 1988. Democratic former governor Chuck Robb succeeded Republican Senator Paul Trible, who opted not to run for re-election. As of 2025, this is the last time a Democratic Senatorial candidate won every county and independent city in Virginia.
Background
Paul Trible announced that he would not seek reelection in September 1987, citing frustration with the legislative process and wanting to spend more time with his family.
Republican nomination
Maurice Dawkins, a Baptist minister, defeated Andrew Wahlquist, a former assistant to U.S. Senator John Warner, on the first ballot of the Republican convention. Dawkins was the first black person nominated for a senatorial election in the state by a major party.
Democratic nomination
Chuck Robb won the Democratic nomination without opposition at the convention held between June 3 to 4.

Robb placed first in all of Virginia's congressional districts. The third, fifth, and seventh congressional districts were the only districts that Dawkins received more than 30% of the vote in. Robb received around 70% of the white vote while the overall composition of his voters were 78% white and 12% black compared to Dawkin's 94% white and 6% black. Robb is one of the few Democrats to have won a majority of the white vote after 1969.
Robb's victory was the best performance for a Democratic senatorial candidate in Virginia since A. Willis Robertson in 1960.
