From the Fairfax County Republican Committee:

Following yesterday’s results, FCRC would like to extend best wishes to Karen Keys-Gamarra. Chris Grisafe ran a fantastic campaign on a shoestring budget. Chris would have been a principled, conservative voice on the School Board, just as he ran his campaign, and we at FCRC are proud of Chris. The party wide effort on behalf of Chris allowed us to increase our share of the vote over the 2016 election, while laying the groundwork needed for victory in November.

“What I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks is the Fairfax County Republican Party and the state party . . . coming together and coalescing like we haven’t before,” Grisafe said. “I do believe that we are much better postured through this effort going into the November election.”
