Welcome to the Suburban Virginia Republican Coalition
Welcome! And Join Us!
TAKE ACTION TO SAVE OUR FORESTS AND FARMLAND
The Democrat-controlled General Assembly passed and Gov. Ralph Northam signed the Virginia Clean Economy Act or VCEA in April of 2020. As Virginia's energy companies issue their plans to comply with the new law's mandates, we are seeing in effect, the implementation of national Democrats' "Green New Deal" right here in Virginia. It is the worst piece of energy legislation now in force across the country.
VCEA's timeline directives are ruinous in forcing a dramatic switch from natural to alternative energy resources, In Dominion Energy's recently released plan, they project a requirement to clear cut farm land and forests equal to 490 square miles for large solar farms. This is an area 20 times the size of Manhattan, the equivalent of 237,000 football fields. The impact will be climactic on both soil erosion and wildlife.
Consumers fare no better. The State Corporation Commission estimates the average electricity bill will increase by 50 percent under VCEA. We will be charged, again on average, over $800 per year with a new "electricity tax". Maybe wealthy, elitist Democrats like Ralph Northam, Gavin Newsom and Terry McAuliffe can afford the luxury of paying double for electricity to feel good about themselves and preen about their environmentalism. However, ordinary Virginians suffering the economic effects of the pandemic do not need additional tax burdens.

Fun At Potluck & Politics
SUVGOP/NVRBF Next P&P - Coming Soon!
Want to have a fun evening of Republican fellowship and learning more about GOP politics in Northern Virgnia?
SUV GOP has held several "Potluck & Politics" across Northern Virginia. The events are a huge success, with a packed house, a ton of great food and energetic Republicans. GOPers came from all over Northern Virginia, from inside the Beltway to Loudoun and Prince William Counties. Check out the video from a recent event on our Facebook site! (click here)
We are joined by a host of candidates along with present and former elected officials. During the meetings, we discuss Republican plans and strategy for the 2020 elections and most importantly, we offer ample time to mix, mingle, and get to know one another and build connections across Northern Virginia. Candidates have lots of time to speak one-on-one with folks and talk about their campaign plans, how they would govern if elected, and how volunteers can help them win. For first-time candidates, it is great practice in "working a room" in a friendly setting.
Thanks to all who attended our previous get togethers! What a great turnout we have had, with folks from the City of Alexandria, Fairfax County, Prince William County and throughout the region this year. We were especially pleased with the large number of new faces, some for whom these dinners were their first GOP event!! Candidates, campaign veterans, new volunteers - all joined in as we continue to build community, friendship and roots within the GOP - and we enjoyed an amazing variety of delicious food!!
Join Us for our Next Potluck & Politics - (Postponed Due to COVID-19 Restrictions)
Date: TBD
Hours: TBD
Location: TBD

Who We Are
Serving The Community
The mission of the Suburban Virginia Republican Coalition (SUV GOP) is to support Republican candidates and causes rooted in the fundamental, kitchen-table concerns that matter most to voters in Virginia’s suburban communities – family, vocation, community, and faith.
We believe that the Republican Party’s longstanding championship of limited government makes it best suited to lead in the Commonwealth by ensuring that government at all levels — city, county, state, and national — stays focused on its core functions and performs these activities effectively and in a fiscally responsible manner.
We seek to engage suburban voters across Virginia to promote Republican solutions to their concerns. We share these concerns — from taxes, to transportation, to education, to keeping our neighborhoods and schools safe, to rising health care costs, to cultivating a positive civic culture. We want our neighbors to know that the Republican Party cares about the issues most important to them and has thoughtful and innovative approaches to these issues.
We support policies and leadership at all levels of government that reflect America’s great history, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to freedom.
We, the members of the Suburban Virginia Republican Coalition, are Republicans of all ages and backgrounds, united by a commitment to collaboration and dedicated to ensuring that our communities are the best places possible for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.
Join us today!
