Help elect Republicans in Northern Virginia!

Fairfax County voters cast ballots for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, state legislators and county offices in 2009. The general election was Tuesday, November 3.

Republican nominees for the three statewide offices were selected at the Virginia GOP Convention on May 30. (Two of the races were contested, and many Fairfax Republicans participated as delegates. See more on this year's Convention process.) Our nominees for local offices were selected in late spring.

There were also two special elections for the Board of Supervisors in early 2009 (see details).

We invite you to get involved with the '09 campaigns here in Reston and Fairfax County! Four things you can do today:
