Thank you, primary voters & volunteers!

More than 7600 Arlington Republicans came out to vote in the Virginia Presidential primary on March 6. Congratulations to Mitt Romney, who carried Arlington with 65% of the vote. See detailed election results.

Dozens of GOP volunteers greeted voters at polls, with information on County Board candidate Mark Kelly and the March 27 special election. Many also collected signatures for Congressional candidate Patrick Murray.

County Board: Candidate filing schedule

One seat on the Board is up for election this fall. Republican candidates must file by May 14. A party canvass (if required) will be held on June 2. See details in the official call. We welcome prospective candidates - please contact us.

Kelly scores well in special election

Republican Mark Kelly finished a close second in the special election for County Board on March 27. Kelly won 43% of the vote, compared to 49% for Libby Garvey (D) and 7% for Audrey Clement (G) - see detailed results. He ran a strong campaign, which sparked long-overdue public debate on key issues facing the County, including the Columbia Pike trolley and need for independent audits. Visit the Kelly campaign site and follow news coverage of the local campaign.

The election filled the vacancy left by the election of Barbara Favola to the State Senate ini 2011.

Campaign 2011: Election recap

Republicans picked up two State Senate seats in the hard-fought legislative elections of 2011 - enough to take majority control (thanks to the Lt. Governor's tie-breaking vote). Republicans in the House of Delegates added 6 seats to their majority. See news coverage.

In Arlington, more than 9000 voters supported GOP Senate candidates Caren Merrick, Patrick Forrest, and Tim McGhee. See more on statewide election results and the local GOP campaigns.
