Campaign 2010

Help elect Republicans in Northern Virginia!

Fairfax County voters will be voting for members of Congress in 2010. The general election will be Tuesday, November 2. Democrats currently hold two of the three Congressional seats in Fairfax, so there's an opportunity for the GOP to pick up one or more seats.

Republican nominees for the three Congressional seats will be selected by primary elections on June 8. As of early March, it appears the 8th and 11th District nominations will be contested.

In addition, two special elections were held in early 2010:

• Jan. 12 - in the 37th Senate District, to select a successor to Atty. Gen. Ken Cuccinelli. Republican Steve Hunt narrowly lost to Democrat Dave Marsden.
• Mar. 2 - in the 41st Delegate District, to elect a successor to Marsden. Republican Kerry Bolognese lost by less than 0.5% to Democrat Eileen Filler-Corn.
