2010 is a Congressional election year, and there are four other items: 3 proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution, and a Fairfax County Bond Referendum.

We’ll be working hard to return our two excellent Congressman (Moran, D-8th; Connolly-D-11th) back to continuing their efforts for the economy and jobs, security and peace, education, immigration reform, etc.

Help elect Cesar del Aguila, Sheila Olem, and Lisa Merkel.

We will be knocking on doors and making phone calls over the next week:

• Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 4-8 pm
• Saturday 10-6
• Sunday 12-6
• all day Monday and Tuesday (polls open 6 am to 7 pm)

To help contact Patti Dinkelmeyer (804-310-2184 or pat85d@gmail.com).

Cesar, Sheila, and Lisa are a great team who will bring new leadership and fresh ideas to the town council.  Together on the Town Council they will work hard to bring real solutions to a town that has begun to fall behind.  In these tough times they want to bring in more businesses that offer high paying jobs and more tax revenue to Fairfax as well as manage planning to reduce traffic congestion and prepare for the Metro going to Dulles.  They are tired of the current town council ignoring the dropping standard of living and housing prices.

Ronald Mitchell was disqualified for not having 1,000 signatures of qualified voters in the 8th Congressional District as required.

Two candidates have submitted their petitions, Declaration of Candidacy and a receipt showing that their filing fee has been paid to the State Board of Elections: James P. Moran, Jr. (incumbent) and Ronald Mitchell.

The local registrars will review the petitions ensuring that there are 1,000 signatures of qualified voters in the Eighth Congressional District from each candidate, and once the 1,000 signatures’ number for a candidate is met, then their work will stop on that candidate.

Margo Horner, Chair of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Committee, must then submit the Certification of Candidates Form to the State Board of Elections by Wednesday, April 14, 2010, at 5 pm.

The final total vote tally 219-212 DOES reflect the will of the people.

• YEA – Democratic 219
• NAY – 34 Democratic, 178 Republican

Neither of these elections are for Lee District residents, but we are committed to electing Democrats all across Northern Virginia.
