Norman Dewey "Rocky" Holcomb III (born 1968) is an American politician who served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for the 85th district from 2017 to 2018. He is a member of the Republican Party.[1]
Holcomb served in the United States Marine Corps and for the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office.[2] He won a special election to the Virginia House of Delegates held on January 10, 2017, to succeed Scott Taylor, who had been elected to the United States House of Representatives.[3] [4] He went on to lose the November general election in 2017 to Cheryl Turpin, whom he had faced earlier that year in the special election.[5]
During the 2019 election cycle, instead of running for re-election, Cheryl Turpin decided to instead run for Virginia State Senate. The 85th district seat now vulnerable, Holcomb announced he would run for the seat once more.[6] [7] He was challenged by Democrat Alex Askew, who served as a staffer for Barack Obama‘s 2012 presidential campaign. Holcomb lost to Askew by a margin of 3.46% [8]
On August 12, 2021, Holcomb was appointed to the Virginia Beach City Council after the seat was vacated by Jessica Abbott.[9] [10]
