Bryce Eldon Reeves (born November 28, 1966) is an American politician and United States Army veteran serving as a member of the Senate of Virginia. A State Farm insurance agent, he was elected in 2011.[2] Reeves defeated the 28-year Democratic incumbent, Edd Houck, by 226 votes.[3]

As of November 7, 2023, Reeves was elected to represent the newly drawn 28th district of Virginia, which represents Culpeper County, Greene County, Madison County, Orange County, Rappahannock County and parts of both Fauquier County and Spotsylvania County.[4] Reeves serves on the Commerce and Labor, Finance and Appropriations, General Laws and Technology, and the Rehabilitation and Social Services committees. The commissions he serves on include the Joint Subcommittee for Health and Human Resources Oversight, the Virginia Military Advisory Council (VMAC), the Rappahannock River Basin Commission (RRBC), the Commission on Military Installations and Defense Activities (COMIDA), and the Secure and Resilient Commonwealth Panel.[5] He currently serves as the Chair of the Subcommittee to Study the Feasibility of Establishing the Virginia Gaming Commission.[6] He is also Co-chair of the General Assembly Military and Veterans Caucus (GAMVC), as well as Co-Chair of the National Conference of State Legislatures' Military and Veterans Affairs Task Force.[7][8]

In September 2025, Reeves announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Virginia in the state's 2026 midterm election.[9]

Reeves lives in Orange County, Virginia, with his dogs Ozzy and Gator and volunteers in the community as a mentor, football and lacrosse coach, Christian deacon and missionary.[10]

  • SB1208[15] Virginia-Taiwan Trade Office; Virginia Economic Development Partnership Authority to establish.
