David “Dave” Foreman, 72, Chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee from 1971 to 1974 and Chairman of the 8th Congressional District Committee from 1978 to 1982, died June 18, at Duke Medical Center in North Carolina.

He was later elected to chair the 8th Congressional District Committee from 1978 to 1982. During his dynamic and influential leadership, Foreman was an active leader in the campaigns of the “father of the conservative movement in Virginia” Richard D. Obenshain. Obenshain was elected the Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia in 1972 and later won the party’s nomination to run for the U.S. Senate in 1978. Obenshain, 42, was tragically killed in a plane crash in August of 1978. Foreman supported Ronald Reagan in his bid for the presidential nomination in 1976 and was a successful political operative in helping to secure Reagan’s nomination to run for and win the office U.S. President in 1980. Dave Foreman had a long and successful career as a traditional conservative grassroots leader and activist. He was responsible for mentoring and supporting many successful conservative candidates to seek and win public office. He advocated and promoted the Reagan Republican principles of reducing business regulation, reducing growth in government spending and encouraging economic growth through tax cuts. Survivors include his loving wife and partner, Rosemary Foreman; son, Dave Foreman, III, and his wife, Susan, of Fairfax, VA; daughter, Sheryl Olecheck, and her husband, Arthur, of Chapin, SC; brother, Robert Foreman, of Naples, FL; sister, Gertrude Alexander, of Jacksonville, FL; grandchildren, Justin Foreman, Jessica Foreman, Brittany Olecheck, Brianna Olecheck, and Hayley Olecheck.

Paid for and Authorized by Fairfax County Republican Committee. Fairfax GOP Fields Strongest Slate of House Candidates In YearsBy Seamus on June 11, 2009FAIRFAX, VA - Today Anthony Bedell, Chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee, announced the new slate of candidates running for the Virginia House of Delegates this November. "This is the strongest top-to-bottom Republican ticket we have fielded in a very long time. Not only do we expect our statewide ticket (McDonnell-Bolling-Cuccinelli) to win but we also expect to hold our three House incumbents and win many of our challenger races. Our Party is unified and motivated," said Bedell. The Fairfax County Republican Committee was able to use the momentum from the Herrity and Cook races as a springboard to recruit candidates. The strong showing county wide by Herrity and the win by Cook in Braddock proved that the GOP is still a viable party in Fairfax. This led to many of these candidates stepping forward to run for office. The candidates in Fairfax also drew praise from the Virginia's Speaker of the House William J. Howell, "Like so many, I'm excited about the unprecedented number and quality, diversity and energy of Republican House candidates in Fairfax County this year. We have 15 impressive, principled leaders who are committed to serving their constituents and helping to create more jobs and opportunities as well as improving the quality of life in our communities. I look forward to working with them in the Virginia House of Delegates to deliver the positive and constructive change the people of Fairfax County demand and deserve." Delegate Dave Albo (R-Springfield) also commented on the impressive slate of House candidates "It is unprecedented that so many seats are challenged. When there are important issues at stake in our neighborhoods, good people rise to the occasion. I've been working on campaigns since 1989 and I've never seen so many people step up and run for office." The FCRC has made candidate recruitment one of its top priorities since December 2008. The Committee delivered on that promise by fielding strong candidates in 15 out of 17 House seats in Fairfax County. By comparison, in 2007, the Party only fielded candidates in 6 out of 17 House seats. House of Delegate Candidates Barbara Comstock 34th House District www.comstockfordelegate.com "We are so proud of our incumbents and challenger candidates who are running for the House of Delegates. It is a tough thing to put your life on hold and dedicate yourself to run for office. But none of our candidates even hesitated. They have already been working hard and this has inspired our Republican base. Over the next five months, we look forward to the opportunity to make our case and earn the support of the voters in Fairfax County," added Bedell.
