I've long argued that part of the problem Republicans had in Northern Virginia was a lack of representation in the higher echelons of power within the state party. For a time in the General Assembly, you could only point to two men with any sort of sway, Dave Albo and Ken Cuccinelli. Albo as chairman of the Courts committee and Cuccinelli as the leader of the conservative wing of the party. But none of the positions of internal power were held by anyone from the largest voting region in the commonwealth. Bob McDonnell's stunning victory and the election of three four new state delegates has helped change that. Now all we have to do is help solidify Northern Virginia's position in the party.
Encouraging the House caucus to vote for Tim Hugo as its chairman would go a long way towards solidifying our area's position within the party. We need a consistent voice in the party, and Tim Hugo would represent another step forward in bringing in good conservative electeds from Northern Virginia into the fold of the state party to make sure our interests are no longer ignored. When we have a voice in the party, the party will know what we need and in addressing that need will help build the party up here.
Here is the list of district offices, please find your Republican delegate and let them know that Tim Hugo is the right man for the job.
Four new delegates: Comstock, LeMunyon, Anderson, and Greason.

My bad, forgot about Grearson.

Tim Hugo would be a phenomenal choice.
