Tim Anderson is an American politician. A Republican, he is a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the 83rd district after defeating Nancy Guy in 2021.[1] He resigned on April 3, 2023, to run for election to the Virginia Senate's 19th district.[2] With 97% of the votes tallied, AP reported Christie New Craig defeating Anderson 4,565 votes (37.8%) to 3,937 votes and Jeff Bruzesi at 3,575 votes.[3]

In 2022, Anderson filed an unsuccessful lawsuit attempting to prevent bookstores from selling two books, A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas and Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, to anyone under 16 years of age. He believed they violated state obscenity laws due to their pornographic depictions.[4][5][6]
