The News-Press learned this week that the website for the conservative Virginia Values Voters PAC, the political action arm of the Family Research Council, reported following the non-partisan City of Falls Church City Council election in May that two successful candidates, Ira Kaylin and Johannah Barry, had been formally endorsed by the Republican Party. While the claim has not yet been independently verified, Kaylin, now a member of the F.C. Council, had denied receiving a GOP endorsement in response to an inquiry from the News-Press prior to the May 4 election.
