With President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, America is back on track. The border is being secured, war has been declared on the drug cartels, criminal aliens are being sent back to their home countries, federal workers are going back to the office, and ineffective and divisive DEI programs are being cancelled. In short, America is back!

But Fairfax County, sadly, is not. In spite of the resounding call from American voters for a return to common sense, our Fairfax County politicians are continuing to lead us down the progressive path. Our Board of Supervisors (9 Democrats, 1 Republican) says we will have a $300 million shortfall, yet they refuse to allow an audit to look for inefficiencies and savings. Rather than cancel plans for their COVID Memorial, they are threatening to cut funds to police and fire departments.  

The Fairfax County School Board (12 Democrats) continues to push for radical social policies, replacing merit with equity, teaching elementary students to question their gender and sexuality, and hiring administrators with bloated salaries and vague job descriptions. 

With both the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the Fairfax County School Board unable to curb their spending habits, they are looking for new sources of revenue. Both of their top ideas are terrible for Fairfax County residents: a proposed 6% meals tax and a casino in Tysons Corner.

Fairfax County has a way to go before it wakes up and stops voting for the failed progressive, lawless, tax and spend Democrats.

How can we speed that process along? How can we support President Trump’s momentum?  We have to help Republicans win in Fairfax County.  We have to reach more undecided voters. We have to raise more money. We have to work harder and smarter.

Never in my lifetime have I felt the joy and optimism and patriotism that is all around me now. President Trump has shown us that by getting active and by working hard, we can turn this around, even against the most impossible odds. Let’s take our inspiration from him and help make Fairfax County Great Again!
