As we approach the Democrat primary on June 8, the local Republicans have already selected our party’s local nominees through alternative party nomination processes, which allowed for maximum party participation and saved the City the expense of an additional primary. The Alexandria Republican City Committee https://www.alexgop.org/ succeeded in a big way this year in recruiting and training qualified candidates. The processes we used to identify our nominees were completed May 8 and resulted in the following list of outstanding nominees; nominees who you will see on the November ballot:
Annetta Catchings for Mayor https://www.annettacatchingsformayor.com/
Darryl Nirenberg for City Council https://darrylnirenberg.com/
Justin “JD” Maddox for VA House of Delegates, District 45, https://www.maddoxforvirginia.com/
Kyle Rooney for VA House of Delegates, District 46, http://www.rooney46va.com
The Republican party in Alexandria is proud that these local citizens are willing to step into the arena and seek bi-partisan, common-sense solutions to the urgent problems our residents and neighborhoods face: flooding, density, education, green space, and transportation, to name but a few. Given the extreme positions that the Democrats have taken -- and plan to take -- in lock-step on so many State and local issues, we believe that the time has come to end the single party monopoly of power, and develop true diversity of political thought. There is a real opportunity not only for Republicans in the November elections, but also for the citizens of Alexandria and of Commonwealth, to restore the two party system that has served our Nation so well..
Pete Benavage, Chair
Alexandria Republican City Committee
