Update on the Special Elections in Fairfax
We are looking at an automatic recount in the 41st House District, where Democrat Eileen Filler-Corn is leading Republican Kerry Bolognese by 37 votes. I will be following this closely and keeping you updated once the recount is finished.
Meanwhile, in the Mason District, Samantha Rucker lost her race to fill the open school board seat, once held by Kaye Kory. Rucker ran against Sandy Evans. Evans won with 56% of the vote, while Rucker only had 43%.
Election Day in the 41st House and Mason Districts
If you live in the 41st House District or the Mason District, there are two special elections being held to fill vacant seats. In the 41st, Kerry Bolognese is running for the open Delegate seat once held by Dave Marsden. There is also an election in the Mason District to fill the school board seat once held by Kaye Kory. Samantha Rucker is running to fill this seat.
If you live in either one of these districts, you can vote at your normal polling locations.
Samantha Rucker for School Board Fundraiser
On Friday, December 18th, Samantha Rucker will be holding a fundraiser with special guest, Governor-elect Bob McDonnell. This fundraising reception will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. on the 18th. Rucker is running for the open seat (which has not yet been vacated by Kaye Kory, who won election as Delegate in the 38th District) representing Mason District on the Fairfax County School Board.

Rucker touts an impressive resume, as she is active within the Mason District community and being active in public education. Aside from her community involvement, Rucker is a fellow graduate of the Jennifer Byler Institute, which is an excellent program ran by the Republican Party of Virginia geared towards getting Republican women prepared for public service.
