Since its founding, the Henrico County Republican Committee has worked diligently in cooperation with the Republican Party of Virginia to organize Republican grassroots activities throughout the county.

The members of the committee have been very successful in electing Republican candidates for public office. Four of five county supervisors are Republicans, as are five of eight delegates, two of three state senators, the Commonwealth's Attorney, the Sheriff, and the Clerk of Circuit Court. Though technically nonpartisan, four of five school board members and all three elected directors of the Soil and Water Conservation Board are members of our committee.

Such success is due to a combination of factors: excellent executive level leadership, a strong commitment to the values of the Republican Party, a well-organized volunteer network, and frequent membership activities which fosters fellowship among the many members with each other and the county's elected representatives.

With a current membership of about 300 individuals, the Henrico County Republican Committee is second in size only to Fairfax County among Republican units in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

In 1614 Pocahontas married John Rolfe, and according to Native American lore and local tradition, they made their home in what is now Henrico's Varina District. The marriage brought peace between the English and the Powhatan tribes -- an accomplishment that would affect the rest of American history.

Four hundred years ago she lived part of her life in what is present-day Henrico County. Pocahontas forever influenced the history of the County, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and America. It is her image that graces the Henrico seal and flag.
