Congratulations to former Gov. Jim Gilmore, who won the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate on May 31 at the Republican State Convention. Gilmore will face Democat ex-Gov. Mark Warner in the fall.

For U.S. Congress

Voters in the 8th District will have another opportunity to elect a new member of Cognress to replace discredited incumbent Democrat Jim Moran. Republicans Mark Ellmore and Amit Singh filed for the seat.

The GOP nominee will be selected by a Congressional primary on Tue., June 10. See more on the GOP candidates for Congress.

For City Council and School Board

City voters will elect three members of City Council and three members of the School Board in 2008. Those offices are non-partisan, so the FCCRC is not involved in nominating or endorsing candidates. We encourage Falls Church voters to learn about the candidates and to participate in local elections, which will help shape the City's future.

The City election will be Tue., May 6. Voting will be at all regular polling places, from 6 am to 7 pm. Absentee voting is also available. See more on voting in Falls Church.
