GOP in Alexandria

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. It's McDonnell, Bolling, Cuccinelli Republicans nominated Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling for a second term, and State Sen. Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General at the State Convention on May 30. They join gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell on the GOP statewide ticket for 2009. See more on the statewide campaigns and news coverage.

New state chairman: Congratulations to Pat Mullins, who was elected chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia on May 2 by the party's State Central Committee, and then re-elected at the State Convention on May 30. He succeeds Jeff Frederick, who was removed in early April. Mullins is a former head of the Fairfax GOP. (See more in news coverage.) 2009 special: Republican Joe Murray finished just 16 votes behind his opponent in the Jan. 2009 special election for House of Delegates. Read more on the special election. 2008 wrap-up: We thank the thousands of Alexandria voters and volunteers who supported Sen. John McCain and our GOP ticket. Read more on the 2008 campaigns and election results in the City.

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.)
