Eugene Delgaudio: A Man of Sterling Values

Eugene Delgaudio represents Sterling Park since 1999. Eugene stands for Conservative Republican values, open access, and accountability in Leesburg:

Eugene: Anti-Tax Crusader

In 1998, Eugene led the Sterling District Stop the Meals Tax committee and organized the "Meatball Rebellion" Rally at a local restaurant, That's Amore.

Delgaudio held a meatball up by a fork high above his head so the crowd could see it. "In the name of the meatball let us go forth and fight this dreaded tax and make our families safe and free to eat an untaxed meatball."

Over 100 people rallied against the unpopular tax on prepared meals. His effort resulted in Sterling having the highest turnout against the tax, 83% against the tax.

Eugene Delgaudio visited thousands of Sterling voters. They then turned out in record numbers at several rallies and to vote against the hated meals tax that November.

At Christmas time Eugene Delgaudio sponsored an old fashioned Christmas Party to forge an alliance with voters to fight tax increases and unreasonable budget growth and to sing traditional Christmas carols.

Eugene Delgaudio received the endorsements of hundreds of voters urging him to run for Supervisor for the vacant Sterling seat on the Board of Supervisors.

Taking on the liberal Leesburg establishment with few public endorsements, 400 Delgaudio supporters overwhelmed the Republican Canvass at Park View High School on May 22, 1999 in a stunning victory for Sterling and all conservatives.

This was especially challenging since other conservatives were defeated countywide in a liberal takeover of the entire board of supervisors Republican nomination process.

Delgaudio would be the lone Conservative. (At the time Sterling had 3 precincts).

In November of 1999 Sterling elected him at the ballot box, becoming the lone voice for conservative leadership in Loudoun for that four year term of the board of supervisors.

Eugene Delgaudio was re-elected in 2003 and 2007 and is up for re-election in the 2011 elections for his 4th term.
