Welcome to the Patrick Henry Tea Party!
We created this site to keep the citizens of western Hanover County and surrounding areas informed about important governmental issues affecting citizens on the local, state and national levels. We are a non-partisan grassroots organization with a focus on smaller, less-intrusive government, fiscal prudence, adherence to our Constitution and unashamed patriotism.

LOCAL RACES MATTER!!!!!
The just past General Assembly shows us how important the races for the House of Delegates are. Without a majority in the House, many Republican bills were never heard, and most were defeated in committees that were staffed with a majority of Democrats who could vote down any bill brought before them. Be informed, get involved!
