YORK SECURES REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR FOURTH TERM

AS BOARD CHAIRMAN

Leesburg, VA | July 26, 2011—On Saturday, July 23, at Tuscarora High School in Leesburg, Scott York achieved what many thought impossible just a few months ago. York secured the Republican nomination in his re-election bid for a fourth term as Chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors.

Following a four-month battle with former Supervisor Steve Stockman, York prevailed by emphasizing his accomplishments in building Loudoun’s commercial tax base, adding jobs, and securing significant transportation improvements. He also stressed his commitment to budget reform and lower residential property taxes. York voted against the new County budget earlier this year after the Democrat majority on the Board voted down his motion for a lower tax rate.

York also prevailed due to an unprecedented show of unity with other GOP leaders, including endorsements from Supervisors Eugene Delgaudio and Lori Waters, Sheriff’s nominee Mike Chapman, Treasurer Roger Zurn, Clerk of the Court Gary Clemens, Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman, Commissioner of Revenue Bob Wertz, and 7 of the 8 other Republican candidates for the Board of Supervisors. York was also supported by several Republican members of Loudoun’s General Assembly delegation, and other Republican and community leaders.

“I am proud to be leading the Republican ticket, and deeply thankful to my campaign team and the many friends who made it possible for me to secure this nomination,” York said. “I am also thankful for Steve Stockman’s gracious acceptance of the result immediately following the vote count, and that our Republican Party is now united in its commitment to serving the taxpayers of Loudoun County with positive solutions,” he continued.

“Since beginning public service in 1996 as the Sterling District Supervisor, my focus has been on protecting Loudoun’s future,” York said, echoing the theme of his 2011 re-election campaign.  “It has been a struggle over the past four years to lead the current Board.”  He continued, “Its Democrat majority has been recklessly inattentive to fiscal restraint, squabbling over business opportunities, and obsessed with over-reaching regulation on homeowners and businesses.  This must change, and I’m committed to leading a new, visionary and fiscally-grounded Republican Board of Supervisors beginning in 2012.”

I am pleased to announce my endorsement of Scott York for the Republican nomination for Chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. Scott is a man of character and integrity who is simply the best choice to lead a unified Republican ticket for the Board of Supervisors on to victory in November.

As Chairman, Scott has worked hard for the citizens of Loudoun. He has been a champion on economic development with 53,000 new jobs added to Loudoun in the last 10 years with Loudoun now projected to be the #1 county in the nation for job growth over the next 5 years.

As Chairman, Scott has worked with Governor McDonnell and our local state delegation to secure much needed funding for key transportation improvements. Like me, Scott opposes higher tolls on the Greenway, and wants to see distance pricing implemented. Scott has been on the forefront of opposing cost overruns for the rail to Dulles project by pressing for the lower cost Metro rail station at the airport.

As Chairman, Scott is recognized around the state for his leadership dealing with issues pertaining to communities facing high growth rates. He has been one of the community leaders that has helped Loudoun become a great place to work, learn and raise our families. Scott has been endorsed by many of Loudoun’s Republican leaders, and now I am delighted to add my name to that list!

- Del. Tag Greason, 32nd District

As planned for many weeks, Scott York will participate and speak at a fundraiser for Republican Board of Supervisors candidate Ken Reid on the evening of July 7 in Leesburg. Reid and York announced their formal support for each other’s nominations last month. This event is one of the final opportunities for both campaigns to solicit delegates for the upcoming Loudoun County Republican Convention. The deadline to file as a Delegate is Sunday afternoon, July 10.

Recently, the 10th District Republican Committee announced a debate on the same evening for candidates in the contested races for Chairman and Sheriff in Loudoun County. Scott York was invited and would enjoy another debate with his opponent, Steve Stockman.

This debate could’ve provided such an opportunity, but Scott has declined to participate and notified 10th District Chairman, Howie Lind, several days ago. The reasons are simple:

(1) the York campaign already has an important event scheduled with prospective delegates on the same evening, and no desire to cut short Scott’s participation to rush to a debate that was scheduled with knowledge of the Reid-York event; and
(2) the York campaign’s focus this week is on recruitment of delegates to the Republican Convention prior to the deadline this Sunday.

We are unsure why the event is continuing to be advertised after we declined to participate.

Instead, please come join us in supporting Ken Reid (flyer here) and Scott York by attending the fundraiser and signing up as a delegate. For more information go to yorkforloudoun.com/delegate or contact the campaign at 571.934.6144.

Our goal as Loudoun Republicans is to move forward to November and place Republicans in all nine of the seats on the Board of Supervisors. It is imperative that we have a candidate for Chairman who can effectively lead us to that victory and maintain continuity of leadership during this critical time for Loudoun County. That is why I am proud to endorse Scott York for the Republican nomination for Chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors.

Scott York is a pro-life, pro-family fiscal conservative, and man of principle and integrity. He will promote a business friendly climate in Loudoun to facilitate the expansion of our commercial tax base. Scott’s record truly speaks to his ability to solve our transportation issues, both now and in the years to come. Finally, it is important to have a Leader on the Board that will support the men and women who are our first responders, working every day to protect us!

Politics is not personal, and while I and many others consider Chairman candidate Steve Stockman a friend, and a good man, Scott York is the right leader the Republican ticket needs to triumph in November. I encourage all my supporters and delegates to vote for Scott at the Republican Convention on July 23rd.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 21, 2011

LEESBURG, VA — Scott York, chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, and Ken Reid, a member of the Leesburg Town Council, today announced the endorsements of each other’s candidacies for the Board of Supervisors in the election to be held on November 8.

York is seeking the Republican nomination for a fourth term as Chairman, while Reid is seeking the Republican nomination as Leesburg District Supervisor. Both will be decided at the Republican County Convention on July 23 at Tuscarora High School.

“Chairman York has worked hard to bring more jobs and business tax revenue to Loudoun County,” Reid said. “He has supported conservative fiscal management and greater oversight on how the School Board spends our money, and has opposed bad regulations like the Chesapeake Bay Protection Ordinance,” he continued. “Most recently, Scott York has blown the whistle on the exorbitant costs of the Dulles Rail project and how this will impact folks who use the Dulles Toll Road.”

“But Chairman York has been repeatedly opposed by the current Democrat majority, and he needs a new Board to really make a consistent difference for County residents,” Reid added. “That new Board needs to be a fiscally responsible and solutions-oriented Republican Board, and I and other Republican candidates stand ready to work with Scott York to bring needed change to Loudoun County. I also wholeheartedly endorse Scott York’s candidacy for the Republican nomination as chairman.”

Reid also said he is urging the delegates he has signed up to vote for York for the nomination for Chairman. Reid also has been endorsed by Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, and former Leesburg District Supervisors Joan Rokus and Jim Clem, among others.

In endorsing Reid, York said: “Ken Reid has been an active supporter of Loudoun County, even before his election to the Leesburg Town Council in 2006. Under Ken’s leadership on Council, Leesburg’s tax rates have been held down while local jobs and business tax revenue have grown. Ken also has been at the forefront of calling for new road capacity and public transit alternatives, and helped me secure 100% state funding for the Sycolin Road overpass. Ken is my choice for Leesburg District Supervisor.”

Reid will hold his next fundraiser on July 7 at the Exeter Clubhouse in Leesburg. York is the featured speaker. Admission is $75 per person, but sponsorships are available at $250 and $500. For details, visit www.KenReid.org
