By Katie Gorka, Chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee

My fellow conservatives,

Today, I write to you with both urgency and determination. As your Chairman, I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand the passion and principles that drive our community’s commitment to conservative values. But I must also share a concerning reality: several districts in Fairfax County currently have no Republican candidates to challenge Democrat incumbents in the 2025 elections.

This is not just a political concern—it’s a critical threat to the future of our county and commonwealth.

Democracy Requires Choice

When districts go unchallenged, voters lose their fundamental right to choose between competing visions for their community. The incumbents—many of whom have supported policies that have weakened public safety, undermined parental rights, and imposed crushing tax burdens—face no accountability for their actions.

Each time a Democrat runs unopposed, they claim a false mandate to continue the very policies that have contributed to:

• Rising crime rates in our once-safe neighborhoods
• Declining academic standards in our schools
• Increasing regulation on small businesses
• Higher taxes on hardworking families
• Assaults on our constitutional freedoms

Your Voice Matters

You don’t need to be a career politician to make a difference. In fact, we need more everyday citizens—business owners, parents, veterans, and community leaders—who understand real-world challenges and conservative solutions.

Even in traditionally challenging districts, your candidacy:

• Forces Democrats to defend their failed policies
• Gives voters a genuine conservative alternative
• Builds crucial infrastructure for future Republican victories
• Strengthens our entire ticket, supporting our exceptional statewide candidates

The Time is NOW

The filing deadline of June 17, 2025 is approaching quickly. I am personally committed to meeting with every potential candidate who steps forward. Our team will provide guidance on the filing process, campaign strategies, and connecting with voters.

Our Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears is courageously leading the charge as our Republican gubernatorial nominee. John Reid stands ready to fight for our constitutional rights. Attorney General Jason Miyares continues his steadfast defense of public safety and the rule of law.

But they need your help. They need strong local candidates who will champion the same conservative principles at every level of government.

Take the First Step Today

If you believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility, public safety, and protecting our constitutional rights—if you’re ready to be the conservative voice your community desperately needs—contact us immediately at info@fairfaxgop.org.

The future of Fairfax County and Virginia depends on conservatives willing to stand up now. Will you answer the call?

For Liberty and Prosperity,

Katie Gorka Chairman,

Fairfax County Republican Committee
