Mark Kelly Will Be Lone Republican Running in March 27th Special Election

Hello Yupette,

News from the Arlington County Republican Committee is that Mark Kelly was the lone Republican candidate to file for County Board as of noon today. So it's likely the Republicans will cancel their caucus and Mark will be their candidate for County Board.

It's been expected that the Republicans would field a candidate this year and Mark would be that candidate. Thanks for your blog.

Not surprising, they had to nominate a candidate this year.

Yeah, they would have lost credibility as a major political party if no one ran this year. The local media were under a lot of pressure to give give Audrey Clement significant campaign coverage.

Repubs would have fielded a candidate despite what the Dems did or did not do about Bondi.

It looks like Bondi has voted in Ohio. If she voted in Arlington she has possibly committed a felony

Paulie Ferguson has been making robo-calls supporting her candidacy.

Was Melissa Bondi legally a Virginia resident when she filed her papers with the state board of elections to begin her campaign?

Chris Zimmerman also just wrote a letter supporting her.

Melissa Bondi announced for County Board on November 10, 2011

So, two days after she voted in Ohio she announced she's running for office in Virginia. She never owned property in Virginia but has owned a home in Ohio for the past 19 years. What the hell is going on?

I am no fan of the tax cheat, but this voting in Ohio stuff does not appear to hold water. The person who votes in Ohio is 65 years old according to simple google searches. (phone numbers in Ohio are also available).

IRS lien, car tax problems, dubious education, and incomplete employment record are sufficient to disqualify Bondi.

No wonder Mark Kelly is running...if Melissa is racking up a string of election fraud felonies he can slam-dunk the entire Dem machine that's vocally supporting her no matter what.

Maybe the owner of the home is Melissa's mother?

Anonymous said...

Given her behavior people are going to speculate about anything. She is living in others' homes, driving others' vehicles, etc.

Melissa's mother passed away, and her name was Jane.

I suspect some of the google information is a bit suspect, but let's see if that rat O'Leary will start abusing county property and do a search on her.

I keep receiving her junk campaign lit and phone calls from Democrats endorsing her.

Then there's Mark Kelly. What has he been doing for the past two years? Chairing Tea Party meetups?

Melissa was asked whether there were any skeletons in her closet tonight at the Cherrydale debate and she ignored the question.

ACDC Chair Mike Lieberman has endorsed Kim Klingler via robocalls.

Only Audrey Clement stated what she would do for us at the Cherrydale debate. The other 5 spoke in generalities. It appears to me they are committed to some form of the status quo. All of them have been appointed by the current County Board to multiple committees and commissions where they served for years. I agree with Audrey's comments that Democratic hegemony has had and will have negative consequences for Arlington County.

Anonymous said...

No -- current ACDC Chair Mike Lieberman has not endorsed anyone. The calls for Kim Klingler were from former ACDC Chair Peter Rousselot. Please try to keep facts straight!

A.Y. said...

Sorry, the beginning of the robocall was not heard. We only heard..."Chair of the Arlington County Democratic Committee...." A.Y. stands corrected.

I also did not hear the beginning of the robocall on my answering machine and thought it was Mike Lieberman doing the endorsing.
