Robert B. Dix, Jr.

Robert B. 'Bob' Dix, Jr. was the supervisor from the Hunter Mill District from 1992 to 2000.

Before entering politics, Dix worked at the JKJ Chevrolet dealership in Tysons Corner.

Dix first entered local politics when he was elected to a seat on the Vienna Town Council on May 10, 1988.

Dix scored a surprising upset in the 1991 elections when he defeated long-time supervisor Martha V. Pennino for the Centreville district's seat on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

Dix was defeated in the election of November 2, 1999 by Catherine Hudgins.

Following his defeat, Dix took a part time position as an aide to the House subcommittee on the District, but left this position to become a senior vice president at Vienna-based internet company SportsCombine.com.

Personal
In 1977, Dix's 17-year-old sister was killed in a drunk driving accident in Vienna when the intoxicated driver of the car in which she was a passenger lost control of the car and struck a tree. She was thrown from the car, which rolled over and crushed her.

Dix also believes that this tragedy contributed to the death of his 47-year-old mother 13 months later.
