Election Day is less than two weeks away and VA-10 GOP candidate Mike Clancy can't keep track of where he lives or votes in Virginia. As a sixth-time candidate who has run unsuccessfully in Arlington County three times, in Fairfax County, and now in Loudoun County, it is no wonder he struggles to remember where he is supposed to say he resides.
Clancy switched his voter registration from Fairfax County to Loudoun County in January 2022 while running in the Republican primary. After losing the primary, he reverted his registration back to Fairfax County later that same year. Clancy only registered again in Loudoun County in September 2023, one week after Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton announced she would not seek re-election.
When confronted with a very simple question about switching his voter registration to Loudoun County in 2023 after claiming to have moved there in 2021, Clancy said that he would “have to go back and check.”
“Did you register to vote in Loudoun County in 2023 like they say you did?” 7News Reporter Nick Minock asked Clancy.
“I have to go back and check the records,” said Clancy. “I don’t want to comment on the exact date here.”
Clancy said he has investment properties including one in Reston, Va. and before moving to Loudoun County in 2021, he said he lived in McLean, Va.
Reston and McLean are not in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District.
According to the Loudoun County Elections Office, Clancy registered to vote in Loudoun County in September 2023 and January 2022.
And while Clancy’s campaign is premised on “being on the front line” of school issues, including in Loudoun County, it's clear that he doesn't actually have real ties to the county or have children in Loudoun schools.
“After losing in multiple districts and flipping around his voter registration for political gain, Mike Clancy can’t even remember where he supposedly lives–a clear sign of how little he cares about representing the 10th Congressional District,” DPVA Chairwoman Susan Swecker said.
