Active Conservative for 50 Years!
No, I wasn't Abe Lincoln's Campaign Manager BUT I do know a thing or two about Virginia Politics!
My Background
Serving The Republican Community
I was born Republican. My father was a local mayor in Upstate New York, By 3rd grade, I was knocking doors and passing out flyers then in high school driving GOP candidates and on to college where I joined College Republicans and even got my start in writing newsletters as the College Republican National Committee's Communications Director.
I am a die-hard conservative working to expand the Grand Opportunity Party in every way possible. Working the polls, working with our candidates and GOP leaders; bringing in national speakers to NoVA like Kellyanne Conway and connecting and bringing more voters into the Republican Party!

How to be a Delegate to the 11th District Convention
Hurry - Your Form Must Be Received by Saturday, March 16th at Noon
So the number one compliant about the Convention process is that you MUST file to be a delegate by a certain date (in this case March 16) to attend and vote at the Convention.
If you wish to attend the 11th Congressional District Convention at Woodson High School in Fairfax on Saturday, April 20th (and hopefully vote for me), please follow the "Become A Delegate Here" link and fill out the form. Again, before Saturday, March 16th Noon.
We will be voting for three (3) representatives from the 11th to the Republican Party of Virginia State Central Committee and for our Presidential Elector from the 11th District.
CONGRATULATIONS to wonderful (and very hard working) Rosie Oakley, our new Chair of the 11th CD GOP Committee. She was unchallenged for this position because who could beat the RPV's Volunteer of Year (I was honored to sponsor and vote for Rosie to receive this award!!)
So do not wait - Please go today and register to be a Delegate to the Convention!
(Photo Note: The above picture is from the 1904 Republican Convention at the Chicago Coliseum where they nominated President Teddy Roosevelt and Vice President Charles Fairbanks as our GOP nominees for the November election. And no I did not take the photo or was I in attendance at the 1904 Convention. My first national convention was 1980 in Detroit, Michigan with President Reagan and I enjoy going every four years to meet up with friends from College Republican and Young Republican days!)
