In 2019, Fairfax County will have over fifty offices on the ballot. These include:
9 State Senators
17 House of Delegates Members

The Fairfax County Democratic Committee is committed to serving as a resource for voters and candidates. On this web post, we will keep a running list of candidates. Click here to learn about the process for running for office.
We are expecting a lot of changes at the local level next year, as a number of longtime officials are not seeking re-election or are seeking higher office.
The Fairfax Democrats do not endorse candidates in primaries — we will fully back our candidates once they receive the nomination. We do provide equal assistance to any Democrat running for office. For School Board and Soil & Water Conservation District Director, the membership of the Fairfax Democrats will vote to endorse candidates in May 2019.
