Falls Church City Republican Committee Jonathan Krive, Chairman

Reorganization 2008

UPDATE: On Feb. 9, Falls Church Republicans elected Jonathan Krive as the new Chairman of the City Republican Committee.

In February 2008, Falls Church Republicans selected new party officers for the next two years, and signed up to participate in the 8th District GOP convention and Republican State Convention. In May, those conventions will select district party officers, state party officers, delegates to the national convention, and our nominee for U.S. Senate.

While the filing deadline has closed, there are still many opportunities to get involved in building a stronger GOP in the City. FCCRC encourages all interested party members to participate. Please contact us!

Any registered voter in the City of Falls Church, who is in accord with the principles of the Republican Party, was eligible to file for these positions:
