Those are the only offices on your ballot?
We live in Fairfax in a district so blue the GOP hasn’t even fielded candidates for the County Supervisor or School Board. BUT there are other positions, i.e., Sheriff, School Board at large, Water and Soil Conservation. And there is a school bond.
And, even if your only GOP choice is a “RINO,” his/her seat could spell the difference between the Dems retaining their majority in the Senate or the R’s taking over. Whether or not an individual R is more liberal than you’d like, the majority position strengthens the conservatives who would take over committee chairmanships and the agenda, and Gov. McDonnell.
If you don’t like the choice, why not become involved enough that you can be a candidate in the next cycle?
Just those two and sheriff... and I am totally unqualified to cast an informative vote for sheriff. I suppose I would vote for the incumbant as I know of no problems and the election is not partisan. Our school board and city council elections are held in May.
