As expected, Republican Supervisor Mike Frey will not seek re-election for Sully District Supervisor on the Fairfax Board of Supervisors. Frey made his announcement on Monday night,[read_more]
“Regarding the upcoming elections in November, I will not be seeking reelection,” he said. “You reach a time where change is appropriate, and that time has come for me.”
Frey has been the only Supervisor representing the Sully district since it was established in 1992.
“I’ve worked for the county for 37 years. I started working for [former Board Chairman] Jack Herrity in June 1978 and was then [former Centreville District Supervisor] Elaine McConnell’s chief of staff for seven years before becoming the Sully District supervisor.”
Mike Frey is undecided about his future. He will remain in Centreville but has not yet decided if he will seek another job, volunteer at the animal shelter, or coach little league sports.
Brian Schoeneman, currently a member of the Fairfax Electoral Board, will run for the seat. Fortuitously, Schoeneman moved into the Sully district last week. Schoeneman is an attorney and a labor lobbyist. In 2011 he ran for the House of Delegates against David Bulova. It is believed Schoeneman will run as a Republican.
Schoeneman’s announcement can be found at VirginiaVirtucon.com.
Much more to come on this race.

Brian Schoeneman will have primary challengers for the Republican nomination.
Schoeneman is a liberal moderate traitor for what he did by adding provisional ballots to Mark Herring’s total. He was one of those wacko Too conservative crowd commenters and I sincerely hope a real Republican challenges him.
Brian should be thankful he didn’t move down to Augusta County. His mutually admiring blogging buddy Lynn has taken on a nasty habit of either outright hostility or passive aggressive behavior towards the GOP candidates in local races. Just ask the Republican candidates from the last Board election cycle.
“It is believed Schoeneman will run as a Republican.”
Come on Jeanine his press release could not make that clearer. “I look forward to working hard, earning the Republican nomination and running a successful campaign through November.”Just because you don’t see eye to eye on every issue doesn’t mean you should pretend he’s not a Republican.

It was a snarky joke! I thought it was funny….I bet Brian got a kick out of it, too, given the history he has with Jeanine.
Brian is going to be a great candidate for that district. He’s got the temperament and background to win, and to do a good job. It’s a great service to keep that seat in Republican hands.
Glad to hear that Steve.
I laughed.
And behold said the genie of blogging the obligatory BD anonymous up votes will appear! I always liked Brian as he at least always supplies his name to his opinions.
As do we at The Bull Elephant. If Brian permitted me to post at BD, which he doesn’t, I would use my name there too.
You were granted amnesty back during the nativist thing. Come on back home to BD.
Really? I am over the moon! Just tickled pink!
I knew you would be.
Ahh..,just like old times!
I am still blocked on BD. I was blocked for calling out a ridiculous article slandering Dave Brat and praising Cantor. They enjoy silencing opposition there.
Nick, that’s not why you were blocked and you know that. Come on, now.
Here’s the anti-Brat article: http://bearingdrift.com/2014/05/27/liberal-professor-david-brat-pulls-a-two-face-two-step/
And here’s my last comment on Bearing Drift prior to being blocked:
Bearing Drift credibility: Zero.
Are there any conservatives that still contribute to “Virginia’s Conservative Voice”?
The race must be closer than you’d care to admit if Eric Cantor is paying you guys to put out hit pieces on Brat, labeling him a liberal.
Eric Cantor has not done a damn thing to advance conservative principles. In his entire time in Washington, all he has done is advance his own personal career and spent trillions of dollars that we do not have. It is time for him to go home.
Again, Nick, you weren’t blocked for any commentary on Brat or Cantor. You know what you were blocked for.
