[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was Northern Virginia politically conservative? [/quote] Yep. Two long-time Congressmen in NoVa were Republicans - Joel T. Broyhill and then Frank Wolf. If I recall, there was a Democrat elected in the mid-70s following Watergate, but then he got ousted. And the Board of Supervisors in Fairfax was headed by Republicans for many years, including Jack Herrity (the father of Pat Herrity, who's the lone Republican on the BOS now) and later Tom Davis. Of course, being Republican then meant being fiscally conservative, but not full MAGA, and the Democrats in NoVa were "good government" types rather than self-styled progressives, so the differences weren't as stark.
