Virginia's 31st House of Delegates district election, 2011, held 8 November 2011, was a contest between incumbent Republican Scott Lingamfelter and Democratic challenger Roy Coffey. Coffey argued that legislators should concentrate on spending money on people rather than industries.[1] Lingamfelter argued, "Our nation is in peril. There are people that believe today that the constitution is nothing more than a nice collection of suggestions. Folks, the constitution is not a collection of suggestions it is the law of this land."[2]
