In March 2009, Cook defeated Ilryong Moon in a special election to replace Braddock District Supervisor Sharon Bulova after she was elected to the position of Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in 2009.[2] He is the first Republican to represent the district since Charles Majer, who served from 1968 to 1972. Cook was re-elected in 2011 and 2015, defeating Democrat Janet Oleszek in both elections.[3] Supervisor Cook serves as Chairman of the Fairfax County Public Safety Committee and the Domestic Violence Prevention and Policy Coordinating Committee. He is a Founding Member of Fairfax County's Diversion First Initiative, which helps low-level offenders with mental illness by diverting them from jail and connecting them with services to treat them and prevent them from reoffending.

WIN is a collective of stakeholders "committed to, advancing employment and day services for individuals with developmental disabilities." Other leadership roles Supervisor Cook serves include Commissioner for the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC), Chairman of the NVTC Governance and Personnel Committee, and Treasurer of the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) Operations Board. [4]As president of the Kings Park Civic Association (KPCA), Cook designed and implemented a Neighborhood Revitalization Program, which served as a pilot program for then-Supervisor Sharon Bulova's neighborhood revitalization initiative. Under his leadership, KPCA won the Best of Braddock "Community Enhancement and Beautification" award from the Braddock District Council in 2008. Cook also was named by Bulova as the 2008 "Community Champion" for the Braddock District, as recognized by Volunteer Fairfax.[1][5] External links
