Updated 15 October 2018
Residents of Raceway Farms are represented by a number of elected officials. The following is a summary of all of those folks with links to the districts’ official sites, official contact information, websites both government and political, etc. If you’d like to see something added or make corrections, please email site-admin@racewayfarms.org.
Raceway Farms is in the Belvoir (619) voting precinct for elections. You can register, review, or update your voter registration status by clicking here.
Due to the location of Raceway Farms, in close proximity to federal property (Fort Belvoir and NGA), state facilities (VDOT), and of course county property (parks, emergency services, etc.), each level of government can impact our lives as residents and owners. Further, our streets are state maintained. In addition to our own covenants, county ordinances also address conditions in our neighborhood. The board of directors of the association will attempt to stay attuned to the impact of these governing bodies and pass information via the portal, email, etc. You can contact the board via email, board_of_directors@racewayfarms.org.

Federal Government
Raceway Farms is in the 8th Congressional District. There are numerous websites for tracking federal government information. I found one that automatically compiles information from various government websites called govtrack.us. It appears to be politically neutral and very comprehensive. If any reader finds bias or problems with that site, let me know but until then, I’m using it as a gateway to other sites for efficiency.
