For Governor of Virginia

Former Atty. Gen. Bob McDonnell is planning to run for Governor in 2009, and is unopposed for the nomination.

Bob is a native of Fairfax County. He served in the House of Delegates from Virginia Beach for 10 years. He was elected Attorney General in 2005, and served until stepping down in Feb. 2009 for the Governor's race. He has broad support throughout the Commonwealth, and we look forward to supporting his campaign here in Fairfax.

For Lt. Governor of Virginia

Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling is running for re-election in 2009. He and McDonnell are running together, to assure a united GOP effort in the coming year.

Bill served as state senator from central Virginia, prior to his election to statewide office in 2005. As Lieutenant Governor, he has been a consistent voice for fiscal responsibility, and has cast important tie-breaking votes in the closely divided State Senate. Fairfax Republicans are ready to help his re-election.

For Attorney General of Virginia

This nomination is contested, with three Republicans seeking to succeed Bob McDonnell:

We encourage interested Republicans in Fairfax County to get involved with their candidate of choice. And please be sure to sign up for the State Convention, which will select the nominee.
