JOIN US: GOP Immigrant & Minority Engagement
Every day, we experience and appreciate Fairfax County’s richly diverse culture. But are we doing enough to ensure that ALL county residents, including immigrants and minorities, can exercise their rights and enjoy their freedoms?
As conservatives, we believe that everyone should have the freedom to worship, to live out their values, and to raise their children as they see fit. We therefore reject the intolerant, woke Left’s efforts to use the strong arm of government to bully us and brainwash our kids.
We believe that a limited, constitutional government is what best allows humans to flourish and to live in harmony.

Stop Higher Taxes in Fairfax County!
On April 12, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will hear comments from the public regarding the FY 2023 Advertised Budget. As Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield) has warned, the board’s advertised budget would result in 9.5 percent increase in taxes incurred by the average homeowner.
Fairfax GOP Vice Chairwoman Srilekha Palle will address the county board April 12, urging them to hold the line on real estate taxes. “I need you all to understand that the highest increases are on the lower-value properties—townhomes, primarily—the people who can least afford it,” Palle intends to remind supervisors.
