Over 40 people turned out for our Campaign Kick-Off Fundraiser. It was a great event and an enjoyable time to get to know new people, and it got us off to a good start for the five month marathon that’s ahead.
We will be posting photos from the event today on the website so check them out.
Thanks to the Arlington Falls Church Young Republicans for the chance to come to your meeting last night.
Also, the Connection ran a story on my entry into the race.
Today, we canvassed the Falls Church Memorial Day parade. It was a great event and we met a lot of new people along the way.
Here are a couple photos of the Kelly family on the campaign trail.
In covering the nomination by the Republicans of three candidates for office in Arlington, the Sun Gazette said, Ferguson Picks Up Competition, and the DC Examiner said “Ferguson . . . is running against Kelly for the clerk’s position.”
Take a minute to read the articles and see if you agree they have given my campaign a good place to start with the people of Arlington and have highlighted my campaign platform of a vision for improving the Clerk’s office and its services based on proven leadership and a track record of strong administration based on fiscal discipline.
As the Sun Gazette said, “the new Republican nominee said he would make a strong run.”
To that I say, you can count on it.
Well, tonight it was made official. The members of the Arlington County Republican Committee nominated me as their candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court. I am grateful for their support.

And, continue to check back here often for news and notes from the campaign.
