After a very long four years that featured fights to reopen schools, the disgraceful retreat from Afghanistan, out-of-control spending and inflation, woke culture war insanity, and corrupt pardons, today is the first full day of the second Trump Administration. We are excited about what the next four years will bring. As President Trump said yesterday, we know they are filled with hope and the promise of a golden age for America, not the four more years of sclerosis and failure Biden, Harris, and the Democrats promised.

Signature Petition Time: Help Winsome Sears, Jason Miyares, Pat Herrity and All Our GOP Candidates Get on the November Ballot
It’s that time of year in Virginia when candidates running for office are circulating their signature petitions to appear on the November ballot. Help our great GOP candidates, including Winsome Sears for Governor; Jason Miyares for reelection as Attorney General; and Supervisor Pat Herrity for Lieutenant Governor. (Neither the 11th District Committee nor the Fairfax GOP will endorse any candidates until after the primary on June 17, BUT we do want to help them all get their names on the ballot.)
Please let District Chair Rosie Oakley know if you are willing to circulate petitions among your neighbors and friends, and she will send you petitions for any and all of these candidates. Email
Chair@11cdgop.org.
