Immediately prior to becoming the Council’s President in 2023, Peace was engaged in the active practice of law and also represented clients as a lobbyist before local and state governments. Peace is most proud of his 14-year service as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates (2006-2020) where he chaired the House General Laws Committee. His extensive legislative work includes sitting on the prominent House Appropriations Committee including one term as a state budget conferee, being a member of the Joint Commission on Health Care, and several terms serving as chair of the Virginia Commission on Youth.
