Letter from the Chairman

Featured 0 No Comments

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the Arlington Falls Church Young Republicans. I am honored to serve as Chairman alongside so many dedicated Republican activists.

We’ve aggressively expanded our organization these last few months, and I believe Arlington Falls Church Young Republicans can continue to grow in this critical election year.

I am privileged to serve with a dedicated team: Matthew Hurtt, Vice-Chairman; Peter Ildefonso, Treasurer; Elizabeth Ellis, Secretary; and Lance Wheeler, Communications Director. I am confident we can build on our success as we look forward to November.

Everything is on the line this year. Read More

Our upcoming Chairman election will be at RiRa’s Irish Pub on Monday the 20th, at 7 PM. To participate in the election, you will need to be a paid, active member living in the Arlington or Falls Church area. We will be requiring proof of residence, which means a Photo ID or a piece of mail with your name and address on it. We are also narrowing down the list to paid members, which means if you haven’t paid your dues for 2012, now is the time to do it- you can pay securely online at http://afcyr.org/join-us. If you are not sure you’ve paid, you can check with our Elections chair, Jeff Wernsing, at Jeffreywernsing@gmail.com. We want to make sure everyone who can vote does so, and without voter fraud- we are Republicans after all!

As always, there’s more to come- check out our news section below to find out more about what’s going on in the Arlington/Falls Church area.

On to Victory in 2012!
