FAIRFAX COUNTY – With the 2023 Democratic Primary coming to a close, the Fairfax County Democratic Committee (FCDC) is proud to announce our Democratic Nominees on the ballot this November. With the Democratic primary over, FCDC will turn its attention to winning all 50 seats up for election, including the only two currently held by Republicans; Clerk of the Court and the Board of Supervisors for Springfield District.
Regarding the Democratic primary, FCDC Chair Bryan Graham states “I personally thank every candidate who ran in the Democratic primary this year. Primaries allow us to choose the strongest candidates to lead us into the November elections.”
“Regarding the attempts by the Fairfax County Republican Committee and the Republican Party of Virginia to interfere in the Democratic primary, I am disturbed by this unprecedented meddling. Democratic voters deserve to know their nominees were chosen by them and not bad faith actors. Fairfax Democrats look forward to delivering our affirmative vision for Fairfax County’s economy, education, and safety to the voters as we fight against the disastrous Youngkin agenda and win again this November.”
