Unofficial Results: All Incumbent Fairfax County Supervisors Reelected

FAIRFAX COUNTY — All of the incumbent candidates on the ballot in Tuesday's election to serve on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors were reelected, according to unofficial results from the Virginia Board of Elections.

Incumbent Chairman Jeff McKay (D) was also reelected, defeating Republican Arthur Purves.

"Thank you Fairfax County for putting your trust in me for another four years," McKay said, in a statement posted to social media on Tuesday night. "When I was first elected as Chairman in 2019, I couldn’t imagine the challenges our county and country would face. Over the past few years, we’ve accomplished so much. From fully funding our schools, growing our world-class economy, protecting the rights of women, taking dangerous weapons off the street, certifying Fairfax County as the safest jurisdiction of its size in the United States, and fighting to become America’s first carbon neutral county. We should all be proud that we’ve made the best county in America even better."

McKay thanked his opponent and his campaign volunteers, whom he credited with making the win possible.

Andres Jimenez (D-Mason) and Jimmy Bierman (D-Dranesville) were both elected to the board on Tuesday night as well. A majority of voters chose them to fill the seats vacated by Penny Gross (D-Mason) and John Foust (Dranesville), who chose not to run for reelection.

“I care deeply for Mason district and Fairfax County, and I am honored that my community has placed their trust in me to represent them,” Jimenez said, in a release. “From my time as a citizen to my appointment to the Planning Commission, I have come to love many things about Fairfax County, but still see a few places where we can improve our community. I look forward to getting to work on those issues.”(See real-time election results at the bottom of this story.)

The board of supervisors sets county government policy, makes appointments to various positions, and passes land use plans. In addition, the board approves an annual budget and sets the local tax rate.

The board of supervisors also has a limited authority in passing resolutions and ordinances. Since Virginia is a Dillon Rule state, all authority rests in the Virginia General Assembly. The lawmakers in Richmond can grant authority to a locality to manage certain aspects of governance, such as hiring a new police chief, passing a budget or approving a school bond.

Other Fairfax County races on Tuesday's ballot included candidates running for school board, the Commonwealth's Attorney, Sheriff, and Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District. Residents of the towns of Vienna and Clifton voted in the mayoral and town council races. Likewise, Falls Church voters went to the polls to choose who will serve on the city council.
