Don Roby is the treasurer for the Virginia Beach Tea Party. He is a 10-1/2-year Navy veteran, political consultant, campaign manager, business owner, foster parent and foster care taker for dogs.

Don is a big supporter of our constitution and constantly pushing for limited government. He's always keeping a watchful eye on how our local, state and federal governments is spending the taxpayers dollars and if they are reaching beyond their legal framework and not afraid to challenge them when they do.
​Don encourages people to become more active in local politics and educational organizations, especially in the Virginia Beach Tea Party and other political organizations. If you don't get involved, you can make a change.

Looking for a place to be heard and actually be able to participate in government? The Tea Party is the place to do that. I know because that's how I got involved in self-government.

As a resident of Virginia Beach for thirty years, I realize the importance of being involved like never before. Being a member of the VBTP has given me the opportunity to personally get to know those that govern us and keep tabs on how are tax dollars are spent and that those that govern us follow our state and federal constitutions. If you would like to be a part of one of the biggest grass root organizations in the country; join us.
