Today, I address the verdict in the New York hush money trial with a heavy heart and a deep sense of concern. This trial has been emblematic of the kind of overreach and abuse of power that many of us in the Republican Party have long warned against.

The actions of an overzealous prosecutor in this case have raised serious questions about the integrity of our justice system. It is clear to many that this trial was driven more by political motivations than by a genuine pursuit of justice. Such actions undermine the public’s trust in our legal institutions and set a dangerous precedent for future political prosecutions.

As Chairperson of the Fairfax County Republicans, I stand firmly against these tactics and remain committed to the principles of fairness, justice, and the rule of law. We must ensure that our legal processes are not weaponized for political gain, but instead serve the true purpose of upholding justice and protecting our freedoms.

In light of these events, our resolve to elect Donald Trump this November has only been strengthened. We believe that his leadership is crucial for restoring integrity and fairness to our political and legal systems. Additionally, we are more determined than ever to secure Republican majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives for years to come. These elections are vital for ensuring that our values and principles are upheld and that the American people have leaders who truly represent their interests.

The Fairfax County Republicans will continue to advocate for accountability and transparency in all aspects of governance. We will not be swayed by politically motivated attacks and will remain steadfast in our commitment to uphold the values that our party and our country were founded upon.

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to these principles.

Chair, Fairfax County Republicans
