Fairfax GOP Announces Slate of School Board Candidates

April 24th, 2019

Nine Candidates Endorsed by Acclamation Last Night

The Fairfax County Republican Committee officially endorsed nine candidates for the Fairfax County Board of Education by acclamation last night in Falls Church, Virginia:

At-Large: Vinson Palathingal
At-Large: Priscilla DeStefano
At-Large: Cheryl Buford
Braddock District: Zia Tompkins
Hunter Mill District: Laura Ramirez Drain
Mount Vernon District: Steven Mosley
Providence District: Andi Bayer
Springfield District: Elizabeth Schultz (Incumbent)
Sully District: Tom Wilson (Incumbent)

“I am thrilled to endorse our fantastic slate of candidates for school board,” Fairfax GOP Chairman Tim Hannigan said today. “All of our candidates are well-qualified, and they are running for the right reasons.”

Mr. Hannigan believes the GOP-endorsed slate of fiscally conservative education reformers has “a real shot” at winning majority control of the school board this November. “The current board majority has only wasted our money,” the chairman lamented. “The board has lost sight of its core mission of fostering student achievement.”

The GOP-endorsed slate would “refocus our public schools on education, not indoctrination,” Mr. Hannigan said. “We need to get back to basics.”
