Fairfax Board Chair
The outcome of the 11th District congressional race could trigger one or more special elections in Fairfax County. Should Fairfax Supervisors Chairman Gerry Connolly win, a special election would be held to select a new top elected official in Fairfax County government. Two current members of the Board of Supevisors -- Sharon Bulova and Patrick Herrity -- are among those names mentioned as possible candidates in a potential special election for board chair.
A little-known state law could provide a preview of money in a possible Bulova-Herrity match up. The law states says that the campaign committee of any sitting county supervisor that receives $500 or more during a non-election year must disclose the donor's name and amount within 15 business days.
Since July 1, Bulova has reported 16 donations totalling $12,000 and Herrity has reported 4 donations totalling $11,500.
Bulova files these transactions electronoically, and VPAP posted them several weeks ago. Herrity files his transactions on paper with the Fairfax County Voter Registrar's Office. VPAP obtained copies of his most recent reports today.
