Statement of DPVA Chair Cranwell on Bulova Race

Virginia Democratic Chairman’s Statement on Bulova Victory

C. Richard Cranwell, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Virginia, released the following statement on Wednesday in response to the certification of Sharon Bulova’s election to chair the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

“This evening, I called Sharon Bulova to wish her my congratulations on her election as Chair of the Board of Supervisors. Over the last three months, Sharon ran a strong campaign focused on the economic issues that matter to Fairfax voters. Thanks to Sharon’s campaign team and Fairfax County Democratic Committee leadership under Scott Surovell, Democrats were able to win a special election against a well-known supervisor in Fairfax County.
“During her 21 years as a supervisor, Sharon has proven herself an strong leader and consensus-builder who can get things done for Fairfax County. She is the perfect chair to fill the shoes of Congressman Gerry Connolly. With Sharon leading the Board of Supervisors, Fairfax County has the leadership it needs to move forward through these tough economic times.”
