Lori Urban, who has led the Arlington County Republican Committee since December 2021, announced on March 13 she would be stepping down at the end of the month.

"Unfortunately, my personal and professional obligations continue to take me away from Arlington," Urban said in an e-mail to the rank-and-file.

In her note, Urban said she would support party communications chair Matthew Hurtt, should he opt to run for the spot.

"He has the respect and support of many members of this committee, and has always sought to bring Arlington Republicans together," Urban said.

The vote on a new chair will be held at the committee's March 27 meeting, to be held at 6:30 p.m. at Lubber Run Community Center.
