Speakers
Eileen Filler-Corn Member, Virginia House of Delegates
Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn is the first woman and only Jewish person in the over 400-year history of Virginia’s Legislature to lead the House of Delegates as Speaker of the House. She rose to the role after representing the 41st House District for a decade, making her the fastest person to ascend to the post. She continues to represent the 41st District, which includes parts of Fairfax, Fairfax Station, and West Springfield. Delegate Filler-Corn’s passion for service shines through her tireless work to make the Commonwealth of Virginia a better place to live, work and raise a family. Her commitment to improving the lives of her neighbors is what drove her to run for the House of Delegates. She has spent her time in the legislature as a listener and problem solver, delivering results that move her community forward and advocating for everyone equally regardless of background, circumstance, or ideology. She has introduced, championed, and passed legislation that has made Virginia a safer, stronger, and more equal Commonwealth. Delegate Filler-Corn and her husband Bob live in Springfield and remain active members of the same community in which they raised their two children, Jeremy and Alana.
