The Honorable James W. Dyke

“I first met JD over 10 years ago when I joined NAACP Arlington Branch. Since then, I have come to witness his tireless advocacy in pursuit of justice, generational reform, and progress for our community and beyond. JD’s leadership has led to transformative change in Arlington and I can’t wait to see what he accomplishes as a member of the Arlington County Board. I am so proud to support his candidacy.I have been involved in public service and with the business community for nearly five decades at the federal, state, and local level. During that time, I developed the ability to identify people who are best prepared to make a positive difference. Based on his community involvement and military experience and his proven leadership ability, JD Spain is someone who can make a real difference. The people of Arlington deserve a Board member who can bring diverse people together to achieve positive results for all citizens.

I rarely endorse candidates, but when I do, it’s because I am confident, they can get the job done and serve the best interest of the entire community. Based on my observations and what I have heard from people in Arlington that I highly respect, JD fits those criteria. I urge you to make him the next member of the Arlington County Board.”
