Campaign 2009

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:

He was elected Attorney General in 2005, and served until stepping down in Feb. 2009 for the Governor's race.
