Get involved in '09!
Alexandria Republicans have already accomplished much in 2009 -- nearly capturing a legislative seat in January, and then winning two City Council seats in May
This fall, we'll be voting for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, state legislators and two city constitutional offices. 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 Alexandria Republicans participated as delegates. See more on this year's Convention process.) Our nominees for legislative offices were selected in the spring.
We invite you to get involved with the '09 campaigns here in Alexandria! Several things you can do today:
For Governor of Virginia
 Former Atty. Gen. Bob McDonnell is the GOP nominee for Governor in 2009.
 Bob is a native of Northern Virginia (Fairfax County). He served in the House of Delegates from Virginia Beach for 10 years. He was elected Attorney General in 2005, and served until stepping down in Feb. 2009 for the Governor's race. He has broad support throughout the Commonwealth, and we look forward to supporting his campaign in Alexandria.
