2012 Candidates

The following list contains names of Republican Candidates for the 2012 election cycle. Each candidate is listed in alphabetical order. Please click on a person's name to visit his/her website. His or her website will open in another screen.

We, the Surry County Republican Party/Executive Committee members, DO NOT endorse candidates before a respective office's Primary is completed (including a runoff). If you are redirected to a different person's website than the one's you clicked on, please know that it is a mistake; please notify us at chairman@surrycountygop.com if this happens to you and we will correct it. Also, please not that not all of the people listed below have officially filed; some have only announced candidacy, so there is no guarantee on our part the person is running until he/she officially files paperwork with the County/State Board of Elections.

If a person listed below does not file by February 29, his/her name will be removed from this listing. In addition, we will try to keep this page updated as often as possible, but there may be a delay due to local candidates' paperwork getting from the County to the State Board of Elections and the SBOE getting it posted to their website.
