Arlington County Republican Committee Chairman Mark Kelly is running for Arlington County Board! There will be a special election on March 27th, 2012 to fill the seat vacated by Barbara Favola, who was elected to the state Senate in 2011.

“Arlington deserves an independent-minded board member who will recognize the challenges we face and who is committed to solving these problems, not another voice for the status quo,” Kelly told the Sun Gazette. Mark is a dedicated Republican and we will do all we can to help him. Check out his website here. Go Mark!
