Virginia's 15th Senate district is one of 40 districts in the Senate of Virginia. It has been represented by Democrat Ghazala Hashmi since 2024.[3]
District 15 was a sprawling district based in Virginia's Southside, and included all of Charlotte, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, and Nottoway Counties, as well as parts of Brunswick, Campbell, Dinwiddie, Halifax, Pittsylvania, and Prince George Counties and part of the city of Danville. At over 4,200 square miles, District 15 was the largest Senate district in Virginia. It bordered the state of North Carolina.[1][4] Now, after the 2023 redistricting, it is a much smaller district covering an area south of Richmond.
The district overlaps with Virginia's 4th and 5th congressional districts, and with the 14th, 16th, 59th, 60th, 61st, 63rd, 64th, and 75th districts of the Virginia House of Delegates.[5]
