The entire pro-immigration enforcement town council in Herndon, Virginia was re-elected. Mayor Steve DeBenedittis was re-elected over challenger and former council member Harlan Reece by about 1300-900 votes. Reece’s seat will be filled by Richard Downer (no friend of the current council) so the status quo is precisely maintained.
A good day for the good guys.
UPDATE: View complete results here.
A few photos, maybe some more coming tonight along with some more commentary …
Former council member Ann Null (l), local grassroots political maestro Butch Baughan, and new Vice Mayor Connie Hutchinson.
Herndon, meet your newly re-elected Town Council – well, four of ‘em anyway (minus Dave Kirby): from left, Tirrell, Hutchinson, Waddell, Husch.
Re-elected Council Member Charlie Waddell with our man in Richmond, Tom Rust.
And … drumroll please … the man who truly had the coattails tonight, en route to a blistering 40% victory …
MAYOR STEVE!
The non-politician, graduate of Herndon High School, improbable victor two years ago (to say the least), has cemented the citizens’ victory of 2006.
The entire Herndon Town Council w/ significant others. Newcomer Jim Vickory (4th in from right) did not make it in, but in his remarks tonight he noted that his entire goal in running was to help re-elect the current Council which has done so much good work, and since the majority was maintained he has no regrets. It was a very touching and uplifting speech, apropos to the occasion.

Oh, great. Another two years of illegals migrating from Herndon to Sterling. Thanks, guys.
Thanks for posting this joe.. Maybe one day LoCo will wake up and smell the coffee..
Yup, I talked to one of the re-elected Herndon Council members about this and also with Tom Rust. I explained the problems on this street and especially the new arrival boarding house right across the street, which appears to be a “company town” project of a Verizon subcontractor called Ivy, and which neither Zoning nor the Sheriff’s Office seem inclined to do anything about.
The Herndon council member was apologetic, and said “all we can do is do what is right on our end” and Tom said we need to bring the problem to Scott York.
Ivy is well known for this. Down south in VA recently an Ivy sub got a stiff fine and 18 months in jail for hiring illegals.
Ivy’s illegal workers tore up my neighborhood installing FIOS.
I’m about to toss my cookies!
Butch Baughan is the one who started “Citizens for Herndon” in May 2003 and to see him sitting there together with Ann Null, the one who invited Erin Anderson and Tom Fitton and Tom Tancredo’s mouth piece, Linda Muller + husband to address the Town Council in Herndon, is just TOO MUCH.
The two of them were originators of the dismal, hateful campaign two years ago and, yes, the rift that’s still festering in Herndon.
Imagine the germs that were blown onto that cake!
Lovisa, I knew everyone would appreciate that one. It really is a fabulous photo, if I don’t say so myself.
BTW Ann Null and Erin Anderson are two of my favorite people on the face of the Earth, so you just made my day.
I pity you, Joe! Poor taste in women IMO.
I assure you, his taste in women runs to the smart, beautiful and gold-hearted. The modest, too!
THAT’S why Null and Anderson are his ideals! Got’ya.
For certain members of the LCBOS follow along if you will. You know who you are.
The citizens of the Town of Herndon elect an entire new set of elected officials who promise action on the subject of illegal migrants and the day labor site. They deliver on their promises and are awarded with being re-elected.
Prince William County Virginia passes a rule of law resolution in order to combat the ill effects of illegal invaders on their community.
A resolution that just last week withstood repeal by apologists for illegal migrants. The law has the desired effect illegals are leaving Prince William County in droves.
The City of Manassas city manager implements a policy to deny illegals aliens licenses and permits to do work in the city. The same effect here, illegals are relocating to the safer confines of places like, Arlinton, Alexandria and Loudoun.
Political commentators might call these trends, a detective might call them clues.They would both call you politically tone deaf and asleep at the switch . Wake up before their is a train wreck in Loudoun county.
Supervisors, Miller and McGimsey call your office.
Greg,
I think that their TDY terminal is broke. Could you please take the above comments and forward them in braile so that the terminally stupid can understand them also.
NoVisa,
Check your house-slippers. I think you just stepped in ca-ca.
P.S. Linda never shoots first unless it’s self defense.
Dan,
“Ivy’s illegal workers tore up my neighborhood installing FIOS.”
Sorry. You can’t use that as an excuse for something your dog did. It’s been tried before. You know illegals are great at lawn service. It’s in their blood.
[...] attendance from the town next door were newly re-elected Herndon Mayor Steve DeBenedittis, Councilman Dennis Husch, and Help Save [...]
After a while, where do we stand on illegal immigrant issue? Scary scenes on 7 eleven, gangs, out of control law and order. And how is suffering? minorities, is this not a R*****? Oh you bet this is….This is not going to happen in 2010.
“where do we stand on illegal immigrant issue?”
Well Sapphire, bHo promised La Raza (The Race) and other like them to give the Illegal Aliens Amnesty in his first year.
The only reason that he is willing to exclude them in the health care bill (he did LIE, they were included, may still be) is because when he Legalizes them they will be eligible anyway and so will millions of their relatives that they can then bring here legally (could be as many as 30 million family members in addition to the estimated 30 million already here).
I’ve heard from several along the border that Illegals crossing the border is in full swing. They know because the Illegals run through their property and sometimes break-in their homes, steal or kill their livestock, sometimes steal their car or truck, etc.
The people who live along the border have become invisible to the government, the crime and murders committed there just don’t seem to count anymore (the same goes for California), what would make you think that it would be any different for the problems with them here?
It’s sure been quiet about the Minutemen lately. Have they gone home? Or has the fence and the overhead sensors taken care of the “invasion” problem?
#6 – Joe, is Ann Null still one of your favorite women? And, BTW, whatever happened to Erin Anderson? Is she back in Cochise county defending her ranch?
Yes, Ann is wonderful.
I’d say if Erin is back home defending her ranch, woe to anyone who trespasses.
Lowvisa, why don’t you read the post before you spew in behalf of the illegals.
I have no idea what the Minutemen are doing, I imagine the same thing that they have always done which is to watch the border for Illegal crossers and report them to ICE to apprehend and send back.
All of a sudden Illegals are crossing the border in record numbers (before Amnesty?), one border ranch owner had his 2 ATV’s set on fire among other criminal acts, I presume so he would not be able to follow them, approach them or just a costly diversion.
The fence was never finished, less than half of what was installed was fencing, they installed car barriers which the Illegals have been building ramps to get over.
The bill Bush signed was for double layer fencing, not single layer fencing or mostly barriers. There is solid documentation that the government has severely inflated the number of miles that fences or barriers were installed.
The sensors that were installed several years ago were faulty and for the most part never functioned or functioned improperly, a huge waste of taxpayer money.
I don’t know why I respond to your empty, sarcastic posts, maybe there are others that are truly interested in the invasion of our country.
Now, now, Had Enough, don’t excite yourself (go ballistic as Daddy Bush used to say). I didn’t ask whether YOU knew anything about the Minutemen; just wondered why we don’t here much about them any more.
I don’t know either why you respond to my empty, sarcastic posts. No necessary at all!
The fence was never finished, you say. Whose fault was that? When did construction end?
I don’t know, and I don’t expect you to know, but I can wonder, can’t I? Don’t YOU wonder?
