Joseph Cornell Lindsey (born August 10, 1959) is a Virginia judge in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. Formerly a lawyer in private practice in Norfolk, substitute judge in that court for 16 years and Democratic politician, he represented (part-time) the 90th district in the Virginia House of Delegates from 2014 until November 15, 2020, when he resigned to accept the judicial appointment; fellow Democrat Angelia Williams Graves succeeded to the seat.[1][2][3]
Early life and education
Born in Norfolk, Lindsey graduated from Booker T. Washington High School before attending the Hampton Institute. After receiving a B.A. in political science in 1981, he went to Washington, D.C. to study law, and received a J.D. from American University in 1984.[4][5]
Career
Lindsey had a general legal practice in Norfolk, and his district encompassed part of Norfolk and part of Virginia Beach.[4] He won the 2014 special election to succeed retiring incumbent Algie Howell.[6] Voters have since re-elected Lindsey (who faced no opponents in 2015, 2017 and 2019).[5] In the 2020 session, a bill which Lindsey had proposed allowing judges to inform juries of the range of criminal sentences passed and was signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam on March 4, 2020.[7]
Lindsey served as the Chair of the Privileges and Elections Committee.[8]
Personal life
Judge Lindsey and his wife of 28 years, Rhoda, have two children, Ashley and Jason.
