How the City of Falls Church Voted

Incumbent Congressman Jim Moran defeated his opponent Bruce Shuttleworth in Tuesday’s District 8 Democratic primary.

Moran did well in the City of Falls Church collecting 505 of the 657 votes counted in numbers released by David Bjerke, general registrar for the city.

Voters had the option of voting in the Democratic Congressional primary or the Republican Senate primary.

Only 233 people voted in the Senate primary with majority of the vote (156 votes) going to eventual winner George Allen. Bob Marshall picked up 36 votes in the city while Jamie Radtke and E.W. Jackson picked up 27 and 14 votes respectively.

Allen will face off against Democratic candidate Tim Kaine in November.

“This November, Virginians have a choice between two very different futures,” Allen said in a written statement Tuesday night. “My opponent supports the failed economic policies coming out of Washington and has a record of supporting bigger government and higher taxes, while losing 100,000 private sector jobs.  I trust the people, not Washington, and have a proven record of reducing tax burdens, cutting regulations and creating jobs in Virginia.”
