Delegate Mark L. Keam represents the 35th Legislative District in the Virginia House of Delegates, which is considered the oldest continuous legislative body in the modern world with roots dating back to Jamestown in 1619.

The 35th District is entirely within Fairfax County, and includes over 77,000 residents living in the Town of Vienna and in portions of Tysons, Dunn Loring, Oakton, Fair Oaks and Fairfax.
In his first campaign for public office, in June 2009, Mark won a competitive four-way primary election for the Democratic Party’s nomination. He went on to win the general election in November 2009 to succeed retiring Delegate Steve Shannon. In January 2010, Mark became the first Korean American and the first Asian-born immigrant to be sworn into the Virginia General Assembly.
