Our monthly meetings will resume in September. Recent meetings have featured Prince William Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, the Republican candidates for Congress and Congressional district chairmen, and Fairfax County GOP Chairman Anthony Bedell.

Thousands of Fairfax County Republicans voted in the GOP primaries for Congress on June 8. We're ready to unite behind Patrick Murray and Keith Fimian as our nominees in the 8th and 11th Districts -- and to support Cong Frank Wolf, who was unopposed for renomination in the 10th.

• 8th District - Murray and Matthew Berry competed for the nomination. Murray will take on discredited Democrat Jim Moran this fall.
• 11th District - Fimian and Pat Herrity ran in the primary. Fimian goes on to face Democrat Gerry Connlly in November.

Thank you for voting! For more on the candidates, visit our 2010 campaign center. Follow the Congressional campaign news and the election returns.

Landslide in 2009!
GOP sweeps statewide races, gains in Fairfax

Virginia voters elected Republicans to the top three state offices in Nov. 2009 by wide margins - the largest GOP win since 1993. Bob McDonnell was elected Governor, with a decisive 59-41 victory over Democrat Creigh Deeds. Voters also re-elected Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and chose Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General.

In the House of Delegates, Republicans had a net gain of four seats. Two of the pick-ups were in Fairfax, with the election of Barbara Comstock and Jim LeMunyon. The three Incumbent GOP delegates from Fairfax - Tom Rust, Tim Hugo and Dave Albo - were all re-elected.

Mullins new RPV chairman

Congratulations to Pat Mullins, who was elected chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia at the party's State Convention in May 2009. Mullins had served as Fairfax County GOP Chairman in the 1990's. See more in state political news.

Special elections:
Cook wins, Herrity and Hunt close

Three special elections in Fairfax have shown the Republican Party to be highly competitive.

Republican John Cook won a narrow victory in March 2009 for Braddock District Supervisor. Cook is now the third GOP member of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

In the Feb. 2009 election for Board Chairman, GOP candidate Pat Herrity finished just 1% behind Democrat Sharon Bulova. Herrity has been a strong voice for fiscal responsibility in Fairfax County, and he continues to serve as District Supervisor from Springfield.

And in the Jan. 2010 election for State Senate (to succeed Ken Cuccinelli), Republican Steve Hunt was only 1% behind Democrat Dave Marsden.
