Campaign

Paul Trible announced that he would not seek reelection in September 1987, citing frustration with the legislative process and wanting to spend more time with his family. Chuck Robb won the Democratic nomination without opposition at the convention held between June 3 to 4.Шаблон:Sfn

Maurice Dawkins, a Baptist minister, defeated Andrew Wahlquist, a former assistant to U.S. Senator John Warner, on the first ballot of the Republican convention. Dawkins was the first black person nominated for a senatorial election in the state by a major party.Шаблон:Sfn

Robb's campaign raised $3.2 million and spent $2.8 million during the campaign. Dawkins spent $300,000 during the campaign which was less than every incumbent running with opposition in the concurrent U.S. House of Representatives elections.Шаблон:Sfn

The third, fifth, and seventh congressional districts were the only districts that Dawkins received more than 30% of the vote in.Шаблон:Sfn Robb received around 70% of the white vote while the overall composition of his voters were 78% white and 12% black compared to Dawkin's 94% white and 6% black.
