Karl Frisch to run for Va. House of Delegates
Fairfax County School Board member Karl Frisch on Tuesday announced he is running for the Virginia House of Delegates. Frisch made the announcement after state Del.
Mark Keam (D-Fairfax County) announced he will resign in order to accept a post within the Biden administration. Frisch has represented the Providence District on the Fairfax County School Board since 2019.
He is the first openly LGBTQ person elected to public office in the county. “Mark Keam has represented us well for more than a decade,” said Frisch in his campaign announcement. “We have much to be grateful for in his legacy of leadership and service to our community.” “To create a future where no Virginian is left behind, we need a progressive fighter in Richmond with a record of results we can count on,” added Frisch. “We need someone who will stand up to Gov.
Youngkin and the far-right — someone who will work every day to protect our world-class public schools, defend reproductive freedom, build an economy that works for everyone, prevent gun violence, heal our planet, and preserve our democracy.” It is not yet clear when a special election to fill Keam’s seat will take place.
