There’s a new boss in town.

The city council of Fairfax last night made a unanimous decision on former council member Steven Stombres to be its interim mayor. The decision comes after the city’s former mayor, Richard “Scott” Silverthorne, resigned last week amid an arrest and drug charges. Stombres will rule the land until Fairfax holds its special election at the beginning of February.

Steve, a good friend of FamousDC (and epic hair stylist), made a powerful impact on Capitol Hill where he spent 20 years – half of them with former Majority Leader Eric Cantor. To say that he is more than qualified for this position is an understatement.

Join us in congratulating Mayor Steve!
