Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts was on WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall radio program, discussing the vital importance of Georgia’s runoff elections for U.S. Senate, to be held on January 5, 2021. Barring unforeseen changes, the Georgia runoffs will determine the Senate majority. 

The Fairfax GOP is organizing volunteers to boost Georgia’s Republican U.S. Senate nominees David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.

A note from Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts: “Fellow Republicans, please take a moment to read this important update from Virginia GOP Chairman Richard L. Anderson, Republican National Committeewoman Patti Lyman and Republican National Committeeman Morton C. Blackwell. Virginia Republicans are fortunate to have such principled conservative leaders who forthrightly stand with President Donald J. Trump and his agenda for continued national greatness.”

The Coalition for TJ, a grassroots project of 8,000+ parents, students, alumni and local residents advocating for diversity and excellence in education, recently held a virtual forum on the magnet school’s vital role as a catalyst for innovation and growth in the Northern Virginia region.

The forum, moderated by Thomas Jefferson Institute President Chris Braunlich, featured a dynamic list of panelists.

The Fairfax GOP will hold its next general meeting (virtually) on Monday, December 8 at 7:30 PM.

All Republicans are welcome to attend general meetings (you don’t have to be a member, although we’d love for you to officially join our committee).

The December 8 meeting will focus on the 2020 election, and look ahead to 2021 (a big year for Virginia).

A new report confirms that Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is failing students in record numbers. “The trend of more failing marks is concerning across the board but is especially concerning for the groups that showed the biggest unpredicted increases in receiving multiple unsatisfactory marks, namely our English learner students and students with disabilities,” the school district’s internal study concludes.

“The Real Story of Thanksgiving, going back to the very first early days of the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock, is that socialism failed.” — Rush Limbaugh

In what has become its own tradition, conservative talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh shared the “Real Story of Thanksgiving” with his millions of listeners this week.

On Thursday, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring boasted on Twitter that he “blocked a massive gun show” from being held in Fairfax County. 

Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts blasted Herring’s announcement. “I bet you’re proud, Mark Herring,” Knotts said on Thursday. “In one case, you blocked your constituents from exercising both their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.”

BLEXIT Virginia interviewed Mount Vernon resident Steven Mosley this week on Facebook Live. Mosley, who ran last year for a seat on Fairfax County’s school board, discussed the many benefits of school choice for all students, and for black children in particular.

Parents should have the right to determine “where and how their children are educated,” Mosley said. “When someone says ‘school choice,’ that’s what they’re talking about.”

As cases of election fraud continue to surface across the country, President Donald Trump and a growing number of Republican lawmakers are calling for a national election audit to protect the integrity of the vote.

“From 200,000 votes to less than 10,000 votes,” Trump tweeted this week, referencing an article from Arizona Central Politics that shows Biden’s lead in the state shrinking. “If we can audit the total votes cast, we will easily win Arizona also!”

In late October, parent and education reform advocate Zia Tompkins joined WMAL’s Larry O’Connor Show, to discuss new efforts to recall members of the Fairfax County School Board. Tompkins, who ran for school board in 2019 with the Fairfax GOP endorsement, said that current board members have turned county students into “guinea pigs” 

We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.

Seventeen parents filed a lawsuit against the Fairfax County School Board and Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Scott Brabrand for illegally changing the admissions process at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.
