No. You can't claim the Federal/State employee subtraction on your Virginia return and subtract out $15,000 of your income because your total income is more than $15,000.
The instructions for VA Form 760 (p. 18) state:
Federal and State Employees - Any individual who qualifies as a federal or state employee earning $15,000 or less in annual salary from all employment can subtract up to $15,000 of the salary from that state or federal job. If both spouses on a joint return qualify, each spouse may claim the subtraction. The subtraction cannot exceed the actual salary received. If you claim this subtraction, you cannot claim a Credit for Low-Income Individuals or Virginia Earned Income Credit.
