BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Owen Bradford Pickett was born in Richmond, Virginia on 31 August 1930. He was educated in the public schools of Richmond and Hanover County, graduating from Henry Clay High School in Ashland in 1947. In June 1952, Pickett graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Business Administration-Accounting. In June 1955, he received his law degree from the University of Richmond's T. C. Williams Law School and passed both the Virginia CPA and Virginia Bar examinations the same year. He practiced law in Richmond until moving to Virginia Beach in July 1965.
Pickett became active in Virginia Beach politics and was a political ally and protégé of Sidney S. Kellam, a top lieutenant to Harry F. Byrd, Sr. and the political boss of Princess Anne County and Virginia Beach from the 1920's to the 1960's. In 1967, Pickett ran for Commonwealth's Attorney in the Democratic primary on the Administration Team, the Kellam Machine ticket. The election marked the end of the Kellam Machine's dominance as the opposition ticket, the United Candidates, a group of independent Democrats, triumphed over the Administration Team. In November 1971, Pickett was elected to represent Virginia Beach in the House of Delegates, beginning a legislative career that would span four decades.
In 1982, Pickett announced his intentions to seek the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate to replace the retiring Harry F. Byrd, Jr. The party leadership lined up behind Pickett, who during his announcement speech praised Harry F. Byrd, Jr. As a result, Doug Wilder, an African-American state senator from Richmond, announced his intentions to run as a third party candidate if Pickett received the nomination. Wilder's threat derailed Pickett's campaign and he withdrew. Dick Davis of Portsmouth was chosen as a compromise candidate to oppose Republican Paul S. Trible.
Pickett served in the House of Delegates from 1972 to 1986 and was considered one of its most influential and effective members. He was a member of the Appropriations Committee, Privileges and Elections Committee, Health, Welfare, and Institutions Committee, and Chesapeake and Its Tributaries Committee.
In 1986, Pickett ran for the Second Congressional District seat being vacated by retiring Republican Congressman G. William Whitehurst. In a bitter campaign, Pickett defeated Republican State Senator A. Joe Canada, Jr. He was re-elected to the six succeeding Congresses before retiring in January 2001. During his tenure in the U. S. House of Representatives, he was a member of the Armed Services Committee and Resources Committee.
In addition to serving in office, Pickett was an active member and leader in local and state Democratic politics. He served as Chairman of the Virginia Beach Democratic Committee (1967-1972), Second Congressional District Democratic Committee (1978-1980), and Democratic State Central Committee (1980-1982).
In June 2001, Pickett joined the law firm of Troutman, Sanders, Mays, and Valentine. He will handle corporate and real estate work and consult on government contracting.
