Campaign 2009

ELECTION UPDATE:
  • Statewide: All three GOP candidates elected in landslide. McDonnell won by 59%-41%, largest margin in recent history. See news reports and statewide returns.
  • Arlington: McDonnell won 34% in the County, best showing for Republican statewide candidate since 1997. In Delegate races, Vasques had 39% in the 45th (35% in the Arlington precincts); Ringel had 38% in the 48th; and Brescia had 32% in the 47th (a 3-way race). See local news and Arlington returns.

Arlington voters will be voting for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, state legislators and county offices in 2009. The general election will be 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 Arlington Republicans participated as delegates. See more on this year's Convention process.) Our nominees for local offices were selected in late spring.

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