ARLINGTON, Va. — On March 12, 2019, the Arlington Professional Firefighters and Paramedics Association, Local 2800 of the International Association of Firefighters, endorsed Delegate Alfonso Lopez (D-Arlington) for re-election to the Virginia House of Delegates from the 49th district.

Our community needs his experienced leadership in the House of Delegates.”
