The Fairfax County Republican Committee unanimously elected longtime local activist Anthony Bedell its new chairman at a meeting last night.

"Anthony understands what it takes for us to start winning again in Northern Virginia,'' said Pat Herrity, a member of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and candidate for board chairman. "As I campaign to change the way the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has operated, I can think of no better partner to help in this campaign than Anthony Bedell, who will change the way the Republican Party operates in Fairfax."

Bedell is director of federal and state government affairs for a Fortune 500 software company. He replaced Jim Hyland, who resigned.

"Bedell is extremely smart, pragmatic, and he will work tirelessly to chart a new course for Republicans in Fairfax County," Del. Timothy D. Hugo (R-Fairfax) said.
