Welcome!

Arlington's Republican Party

Thank you for visiting! Please join us for 2012, as we work to elect a Republican President and GOP Congress, and to build a stronger two-party system here in Arlington.

County Board: Kelly announces for special election

Republican Mark Kelly is the GOP nominee for County Board in the special election on March 27. It's a great opportunity to break up one-party control in Arlington government. Visit the Kelly campaign site and follow news coverage of the local campaign.

The election will fill the vacancy left by the election of Barbara Favola to the State Senate last fall. Ms. Favola delayed her resignation from the County Board until Dec. 31, which pushed special election back to March. That leaves the Board seat vacant for three months during budget season. ACRC had urged Favola to resign earlier to permit a January election, but she refused. (See press release.).

Get involved: Sign up for County Committee and Conventions NEW

It's party reorganization time! We'll elect a new County Chairman, and we invite Arlington Republicans to join the County Committee for 2012-14. You may also sign up as an Arlington delegate to the 8th District and State Conventions (which elect party officers and national convention delegates). The filing deadline is Feb. 21 for County Chairman, and Feb. 22 for other positions. See details on party reorganization, and download the Arlington filing form.

Campaign 2012: Contests for President and Senate heat up

Republican voters in four states are casting ballots for President in January (Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida). Virginia's Presidential primary is March 6; absentee voting began on Jan. 20. Two candidates qualified for the Virginia ballot, and a court upheld that against a challenge from other candidates.

In the race for U.S. Senator from Virginia, five GOP candidates have announced, and one withdrew. The candidate filing deadline is March 29, and a Republican primary will be held on June 12.

Keep up with the campaigns! Visit our Campaign 2012 page for info on the candidates, and our news page for current developments in the Va. contests. Then sign up to volunteer for 2012.

In Richmond: GOP gains State Senate

Republicans assumed control of the State Senate in January, with Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling casting the tie-breaking vote. That will help Gov. Bob McDonnell's budget proposal and legislative agenda in the 2012 session. (See more on Virginia political news and state issues.)

Campaign 2011: Election recap

Republicans picked up two seats in the Senate and six seats in the House in the hard-fought state legislative elections of 2011. 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.
