T. Farrell Egge

Thomas Farrell Egge is an attorney and former member of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

Egge was the son of Colonel George V. Egge, Sr. and the former Mildred Shirley Farrell.

After graduating from Gulfport High School in Gulfport, Mississippi in 1960, Egge attended Wake Forest University, where he also played center on the varsity football team for two years and guard and linebacker during his senior year before graduating in 1964. Egge next attended the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance, graduating with an MBA, and then attended Georgetown University Law school.

While still at Georgetown, Egge married Lynne Rebel Floyd in Lexington, Kentucky on June 3, 1970.

Egge was admitted to the bar in 1975 and settled down in the Belle Haven neighborhood of Alexandria.

In 1976, Egge sought the Republican nomination as representative for Virginia's 8th congressional district, finishing last in the crowded five-candidate field.

He next challenged Democrat Sandra L. Duckworth in the 1979 campaign for supervisor from the Mount Vernon District, but was defeated in the November election. Duckworth resigned her position in 1984, and Egge managed to defeat Democrat Gerald W. Hyland and independent Gerald A. Fill to capture the seat in the elections of that year, giving the Republicans a majority on the Board for the first time in over a century. Egge met Hyland again in the 1987 elections, with Hyland emerging victorious.

In 1991, Egge sought the Republican nomination as candidate for Clerk of the Fairfax Circuit Court that was eventually won by John T. Frey.
