Reston RA Election 2026: Dues, Development, and What’s Really at Stake
A lot of people probably scroll right past the Reston Association board election. This week, we break down why that may be a mistake.
In this episode, we look at what is actually at stake in the 2026 Reston Association election, from rising dues and the $24 million RA budget to growth, open space, amenities, and the bigger question of what kind of Reston residents want going forward. We also talk through the seats that are up this year, the hot races on the ballot, why the Hunters Woods/Dogwood seat has no candidate, and how issues like golf course land, development pressure, and the Fairfax casino debate fit into the conversation.
We also open with a few local updates, including Hawkes Brewing’s grand opening in Herndon, the latest on the W&OD rail idea, and a fun detour into the 90s photo trend that had us digging through old pictures.
If you live in Reston, care about how the community grows, or want a clearer sense of what this election means beyond the usual HOA language, this one is worth a watch.
