Don't be fooled

[From DontTrumpFairfax.com]

Commonwealth's Attorney candidate Jon Fahey is a Republican through and through.

• He worked in the Trump White House.
• He sought and received the endorsement of the Fairfax GOP.
• When he decided to run, Fahey reached out to the Fairfax GOP who helped gather petition signatures to get him on the ballot.

Steve Descano is the only progressive candidate in the race for Commonwealth's Attorney. Don't be fooled! His opponent is not an independent.
