Dear , Numerous politically experienced Fairfax County Republicans have endorsed me to lead a major transformation of the Fairfax County Republican Committee that will reverse the party’s nearly obliterating losses over the past decade and produce GOP wins in the county once again. Savvy Republican leaders in the county recognize the need for a full-time Chairman who has extensive experience in managing large organizations, competing for win-loss decisions in high stakes environments, messaging on public policy issues, and organizing precinct-level grassroots efforts to get out the Republican vote. Here are the endorsements of these Republican leaders: “I endorse Tim Hannigan for Chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee. I believe he will improve the effective functioning of the county party, respect volunteers and grow the party while showing improved loyalty to President Trump, the duly elected leader of the Republican Party.” – Ginni Thomas, Virginia Delegate to the Republican National Convention, (Cleveland) 2016 “I endorse Tim Hannigan for Chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee (FCRC). We need a Chairman who clearly supports conservative positions, will effectively lead on issues and will focus on winning elections. Tim has engaged on a breadth of topics regarding Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), often attending School Board meetings and including conservative FCPS commentary in his Fairfax Free Citizen newspaper. I urge support for Tim to restore confidence in the leadership role of FCRC.” – Elizabeth Schultz, Fairfax County School Board member from Springfield District “I have come to know Tim over the past couple of years through the Rotary Club of Annandale. Tim has been an active participant, including writing the Club’s two-page newsletter every week and helping me to line up meeting speakers. He exemplifies service above self. Also, I very much enjoy reading his Fairfax Free Citizen. He is on top of local and state issues. We need energetic Tim to be our new FCRC Chairman leading the charge to win back Republican seats.” – Gwen Cody, Former House Delegate from Annandale “Republicans have a choice—they can continue doing what they have been doing. ... Or, they can elect a Chairman who wants to break some eggs and make a new omelet. … The better choice is a retired Marine Corps veteran and corporate executive, Tim Hannigan, who is the editor of the Fairfax Free Citizen and conservative activist. Tim, who ran for Chairman unsuccessfully two years ago, has prepared a detailed, precinct by precinct plan for the type of nuts and bolts rebuilding that is, really, the last hope for salvaging Fairfax County and capturing new voters. ... His biggest upside? Mr. Hannigan has pledged to be a full-time Chairman, devoting the next two years to putting his bold and detailed plan in place and raising the money required to run a full-time party operation.” – Michael Giere, author, former candidate for the U.S. House, and member of the Reagan and Bush (41) Administrations “Spike and I are supporting Tim Hannigan because we feel he is the best candidate to move the Fairfax County Republican Committee forward. He will also be able to unify and bring back the many grassroot volunteers who have left the committee. Please share with your friends and family who live in Fairfax County and ask them to become a delegate and vote for Tim on March 17th.” – Julie Williams, Vice Chairman of the 10th Congressional District Republican Committee and incoming member of the Republican State Central Committee “I whole-heartedly support and endorse Tim Hannigan to be the new Chairman of our Fairfax County Republican Committee. Tim knows the issues facing Fairfax County and what Republicans should do to address them and win politically. Tim supported my candidacy for School Board this past summer, which gave me the chance to get to know him first hand. He is thoughtful, measured, and a great communicator. I believe he will appeal to and inspire the best ideals of our party and principals; he will be an inclusive leader; he will be a champion for all of our candidates, and a unifier of our party and our community writ-large. Please take a chance to get to know Tim, and join me in voting for him on March 17th.” – Chris Grisafe, Republican-endorsed candidate for At-Large School Board member in August 2018 Reminder: the filing forms for the Fairfax County Republican Convention must be RECEIVED at the FCRC Headquarters, 4246 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA 22030, by 12:00 PM (Noon) on Saturday, February 24.
