The event description states that “This event in person will be full of exciting campaign supporters and a great opportunity to meet Republicans running to represent your interests.”
Eventbrite is required for all interested attendees to RSVP. The event will run from 6:30-8.30 p.m.
Fairfax County, in particular, has been a base of strong support over the last decade. Democrats have consistently received around 65% of votes compared to their Republican opponents.
Since 2017, Pat Herrity, Springfield District Supervisor, is the only Republican who has won a county general election.
This election cycle, however, has an interesting twist: neither party has a candidate in Northern Virginia. That’s not happened for at least 40 years.
In 1985, the Democrats won by much smaller margins. However, many variables have changed in the intervening years.
In the general election, on November 4, the Republican ticket will be up against the Democratic candidates Abigail Spanberger for Governor, Ghazala Hahmi for Lieutenant Governor and Jay Jones for Attorney General.
