Engineer/Entrepreneur - CTO and Co-founder at Building Momentum - Purdue/UTEP Grad - Democratic Nominee for Springfield District Supervisor (Fairfax County)
I'm Albert Vega, your Democratic nominee for Springfield District Supervisor in Fairfax County. I am facing pro-gun, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-abortion Republican Pat Herrity, who for 16 years has not represented our District's values. Donate or get involved at https://t.co/3rQLN7gePW!
A heartfelt thank you to everybody who joined me on this journey. When I embarked on this adventure nearly a year ago, I could not have imagined the amazing people I would meet along the way and the depth of support I would find among my friends, neighbors, and people I had never met who are just as invested in improving the future of their community as I am. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my volunteers who gave their valuable time and hard-earned money to this fight, every candidate and elected official who went out of their way to show their support for our movement, and my dedicated staff. This would not have been possible without every one of you.
I am so incredibly proud to have run a campaign which knocked over 16,000 doors and reached so many Springfield residents who have been unheard for too long. I know every one of us will continue fighting for what is right and for the good of our community. That work certainly does not end here. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
-Albert
Polls are now closed! Regardless of the results, I'm proud of the campaign we ran and the issues we highlighted, including gun violence prevention, our working families, and reproductive freedom. Join us tonight at our watch party at Team Springfield HQ!
Less than an hour before polls close! Have your friends, neighbors, and family members in the Springfield District voted yet? Let's finish strong! Every vote counts.
Thank you to our volunteers working the polls and handing out Democratic sample ballots across the Springfield District! With 14 different candidates on the ballot with no party ID, it's important to grab a sample ballot before you vote!
I'm proud to be endorsed by our local Fairfax County Professional Firefighters & Paramedics @IAFF2068 ! Thank you to Matt Lopez, a proud Springfield District resident and firefighter, for talking to voters in Saratoga about why our first responders support my campaign!
Thank you for your support @libicryinsocks! Every conversation counts, and I am happy to have met so many awesome Springfield District voters at the doors!
@AV4Springfield you were the only candidate who took the time to knock on my door and have a chat - just wanted to say your efforts worked and you got yourself another vote! It was an honor voting for you today 💚🗳️🇺🇸
Happy Election Day Springfield District voters! I'm starting my day off at Orange Hunt Elementary School and have been greeting voters since polls have opened. Do you have your plan to vote? Make sure you are in line by 7pm tonight!
Springfield District voters, today is Election Day! I am proud to be endorsed by over 60+ Democratic leaders across Northern Virginia and the Springfield District. They all support our values of advocating for gun violence prevention, labor unions, and supporting commonsense solutions that allow our working families to thrive.
Make sure you have your plan to vote! Polls are open from 6am until 7pm.

Thank you for your support @HelmerVA! It's time for a Springfield District Supervisor who understands that gun violence is preventable and supports Red Flag Laws.
Great to see @AV4Springfield and Sandy Anderson ready to win. Tomorrow, we’re going to elect Albert and Sandy, leaders for Fairfax County who will vote for gun violence prevention legislation and to keep our kids safe.
439 votes. That's how much my Republican opponent Pat Herrity won by in 2019. Since then, he has doubled down on his support for guns in our county buildings, parks, and community spaces, refuses to acknowledge our diverse Springfield District community, voted no on collective bargaining, and focuses on spewing right-wing Republican talking points instead of addressing the needs of our Residents.
Tomorrow is Election Day, and I am humbly asking you for your vote. It is time to bring the Springfield District back to the table and have a supervisor that actually represents our values. Please make sure you have your plan to vote. Your vote can be the difference.
I am proud of the hard work my campaign has done to earn the trust of Springfield District voters and highlight the issues most important to them. To all the volunteers who knocked on doors, wrote postcards, phonebanked, sent text messages, or helped spread the word about my candidacy, I cannot thank you enough for your support.
Tomorrow, let's finish the job!
Our second and FINAL canvass launch of the campaign is complete! Thank you Delegate @HelmerVA for joining us and discussing the importance of addressing gun violence in our communities. To all the volunteers who knocked on doors for my campaign since February, I can't thank you enough for joining me on this journey. None of this would have been possible without you. Onward to Victory!
With just ONE DAY before Election Day, Team Springfield is leaving it all on the field! Our first canvass launch of the day was a success, and we were joined by @Falcon4Fairfax. Let's finish strong!
