GOP in Alexandria

GOP sweep! McDonnell, Bolling, Cuccinelli Virginia voters elected Republicans to the top three state offices on Nov. 3 by wide margins - the largest GOP win since 1993. Bob McDonnell was elected Governor, with a decisive 59-41 victory over Democrat Creigh Deeds. Voters also re-elected Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling over Jody Wagner, and chose Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General over Steve Shannon. Read more in campaign and election news. Check the detailed election returns Vasques, Gong do well in Delegate races Alexandria's Republican candidates for Delegate made impressive showings this year: Vicki Vasques in the 45th District (East End), and Sasha Gong in the 46th District (West End). While the incumbent Democrats were re-elected, their margins were reduced, due in large part to the energetic campaigns from the two GOP challengers. Statewide, Republicans gained at least five seats in the state House, including several in Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. Read more in campaign and election news. Check the detailed election returns Fannon and Hughes elected! Alexandria Republicans congratulate Frank Fannon and Alicia Hughes on their election to City Council on May 5. That breaks the Democrats' six-year stranglehold on Alexandria government, and will bring much-needed independent viewpoints to discussion of city issues. We also thank Phil Cefaratti for his spirited campaign. Read more about this year's city elections and local news coverage.

In Memoriam

We sadly note the passing of Betty McCann in January 2008, following an extended illness. Betty was a longtime Republican activist in Alexandria, a founding member of the Commonwealth Republican Women's Club, served as ARCC Executive Director, and was a GOP candidate for the House of Delegates. Services were held in Waynesboro, VA. Our thoughts and prayers are with the McCann family. (See obituary.)
