Linda T. "Toddy" Puller, a Democrat, was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1991 where she served for eight years. In 1999, she was elected to the Virginia Senate's 36th District and was re-elected in 2003. The 36th Senatorial district includes parts of Fairfax and Prince William Counties. She is the widow of author Lewis Puller.
The daughter of a career Army officer, Toddy Puller graduated from Mary Washington College. She then taught fourth grade in Woodbridge.
Toddy married Lewis Puller, a young Marine on his way to the Vietnam War. Fewer than three months into his tour in Vietnam and only a few months after they were married, he was nearly killed by a land mine, losing both of his legs and six of his fingers.
After Lewis earned his law degree from William and Mary, the couple settled with their son and daughter in Northern Virginia. Toddy was actively involved as a volunteer in the schools, the PTA, the United Community Ministries and numerous other organizations.
Toddy's son Lewis is a professional golfer.
