As we continue to grow and expand our offerings to prepare our students better, we also recognize a responsibility and opportunity to engage directly with the elected leaders in our home of Northern Virginia. Our vibrant Northern Virginia region now exceeds 2.5 million people—nearly one of every three residents of Virginia. Our region is diverse and increasingly complex, requiring cross-border collaboration and innovative thinking to tackle our challenges. That is why we are so excited to have created RELI as a means to support, engage, educate and connect our local elected officials from the state house to the school house. Through policy seminars, the NOVA Leadership Dinner and other special events, future programming, and strategic partnerships - RELI will be a facilitator and catalyst for hands-on regional dialogue and problem-solving. Please join us as an attendee, a policy expert or a sponsor. Best, Mark J. Rozell Dean THE REGIONAL ELECTED LEADERS INITIATIVE The Regional Elected Leaders Initiative (RELI) of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University was created to enhance regionalism and support Northern Virginia’s regional elected leaders—General Assembly Members, City and Town Mayors and Council Members, County Supervisors and School Board Members. As Northern Virginia grows and faces increasing challenges, RELI recognizes the value of working across jurisdictional boundaries and levels of government to identify and implement effective and sustainable solutions.

    Volume 19, Number 2 www.fairfaxdemocrats.org February 2010 Report from Congressman Gerry Connolly Congratulations to Dave Marsden on his election to the Virginia State Senate. Dave Marsden and his campaign team ran an excellent campaign and proved to voters in the 37th Senate District that quality candidates and quality campaigns do matter. This is a huge victory for Northern Vir- ginia Democrats and it sends a strong signal that voters in our region will continue to support pragmatic, results-oriented lead- ers with a record of reaching across party lines to get things done for Northern Vir- ginia. Dave Marsden is exactly that kind of leader. For years, the 37th district has been a Republican seat, recently occupied by far-right ideologue Ken Cuccinelli. Last night, we changed all that.
