“If I were in rural Virginia, I wouldn’t want a bunch of Fairfax or Northern Virginia Democrats controlling my congressional representation or being my congressional representative. I think it’s bad from a tax standpoint, bad from a regulatory standpoint, bad from a public safety standpoint, bad from an affordability standpoint — a lot of bads." - Pat Herrity, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors

Honored and humbled by the great turnout at my annual St Patrick's Day event. Thanks to all those that made it happen, supported the event and worked at the table to get the word and signs out to vote no on the referendum. Happy St Patrick's Day!

I wanted to make sure you are aware of the big event in Fairfax County on Tuesday, July 1st, as we kick off the 2025 campaign with the Republican statewide ticket. Our statewide ticket of Winsome Earle-Sears, John Reid, and Jason Miyares will be joined by Governor Glenn Youngkin for what’s sure to be an exciting night. The event is at the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department at 400 Center St S., Vienna VA 22180. Doors open at 6:30 PM. This is a great chance to get involved early and help set the tone for a winning year in Virginia. Scan the code on the invite to RSVP — I hope I can count on you being there.

It is with a very heavy heart that today I am announcing the end of my 2025 race for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. Since my heart surgery on March 13th and the subsequent complications, I have been working hard to regain my strength and return to the campaign trail. As I learned and was enjoying prior to my surgery, a statewide campaign requires significant travel, multiple appearances per evening, being “on” all of the time and incredible stamina. I have come to the realization that my ability to get back to the 150 percent that I was giving to run a statewide race and that will be necessary to win in November is not possible at the near future. Realizing that I can’t give it my all for the ticket, my supporters and donors is already causing me great stress. I believe making this decision now is in the best interest of both my health and the ticket.

I have heard greatly exaggerated stories from across the Commonwealth about my health. I can assure you that I did not have a stroke or heart attack and I am walking over three miles a day and climbing stairs. As we reported on March 14th, I had heart surgery to repair a genetic defect. Unfortunately, in the weeks since the surgery I have had several complications that have impacted my recovery time. My doctors are still predicting a full recovery but I have come to realize it will be much slower than anticipated. Unfortunately, the 150 percent effort required for a statewide campaign would also significantly delay my recovery, put undue stress on my health and come with some risk, hence my decision to end the 2025 campaign now.

As you heard me say repeatedly on the campaign trail, my campaign was less about me and the Lieutenant Governor position and more about doing well in Northern Virginia so we could elect Winsome Sears as our Governor and reelect Attorney General Jason Miyares. It remains critical that we elect Winsome as Governor so we can continue Governor Youngkin’s legacy of accomplishments and avoid a return to one party rule. If not, Virginia will lose its competitive edge with forced unionization, our neighborhoods will be less safe, education standards will again be lowered, California will determine what cars we drive and electricity will continue to be both more expensive and less reliable. Attorney General Miyares has made great strides in keeping Virginians safe - a direction we must continue. I remain committed to the mission of making sure Winsome and Jason do better in Northern Virginia so we can keep Virginia on the right path.

It has been an extreme pleasure and honor to meet so many great people and leaders as I traveled the Commonwealth early in the campaign. I have learned so much about Virginia and its very different challenges. I have been extremely humbled by the generous welcome and the support I received on the campaign trail. It is an experience I will not forget and will put to good use in my continued public service. I remain committed to serving the residents of Fairfax County as the voice of balance and common sense on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

Very truly yours,

Pat Herrity

I am deeply honored to have been elected as the 32nd Chairman of the @VA_GOP. Thank you to the members of State Central and Republicans across the Commonwealth who have put their trust in me.

I’m ready to get to work—unifying our party, strengthening our message, and leading us to big wins this November. Let’s get it done!

Congratulations to our new chairman, Senator Mark Peake! I look forward to working with you and the @VA_GOP this year to keep commonsense, conservative leadership in Richmond.

Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano claims to be protecting immigrants by not prosecuting crimes with "immigration consequences". In reality he failed to protect this immigrant mother with two young children from a "dangerous man" who committed felony abduction by force, felony strangulation, and misdemeanor assault on a family member.
For his office to lie and state that he was following the victim's wishes only adds insult to the injury. This man is back in our community after his two months pretrial in jail. Commonwealth's Attorney Descano needs to wake up and start protecting our residents instead of criminals.

[Nick Minock @NickMinock]

🚨New info on story I broke that showed Steve Descano’s office dropped a felony strangulation charge on a man who is in the U.S. illegally. Descano’s office told me that’s what the victim wanted. I spoke to the victim and she told me that’s not true.

Had a wonderful evening at the Korean Community Service Center’s 51st Annual Gala! I’ve been working with the Korean community in Fairfax since I was first elected, and it’s a tradition I’ll continue as your Lieutenant Governor.

Honored to be endorsed by Fauquier County Commissioner @EricMaybach!

[Pat Herrity @PatHerrityVA]

This is real leadership. Violent immigrants and gang members have no place in our community and real leaders step up to protect our families and send them back where they belong. I applaud the efforts of these ICE agents and all law enforcement involved.

Four years of commonsense, conservative leadership have caused Virginia to prosper. From economic growth to safer streets, Democrats are chomping at the bit to stop our progress and pushing a progressive agenda that hurts Virginia families. I'm committed to working with our nominees up and down the ballot to ensure we don't just hold our statewide elected offices, but take back the House of Delegates as well!
