Prince William County, Va. –– The man looking to unseat Prince William County Board Chairman Corey Stewart got a nod Monday from a seasoned Northern Virginia politician.
Democratic congressman Jim Moran (D-8th) endorsed Babur Lateef in his bid to become Prince William’s next board chair.
“Congressman Moran has been a strong advocate for Northern Virginia’s families and businesses for decades,” Lateef said. “I welcome his support of my campaign.”
Leteef is an eye surgeon for Woodbridge and announced his candidacy in January.
He has mounted his campaign against Stewart by saying taxes rose during his term as Board Chair, along with class sizes in county schools.
Stewart has long clung to illegal immigration as a camping issue, and launched a crackdown on illegal immigrants after he was reelected to the post in 2007.
Moran was elected in 1990 and is now serving his 10th term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The general election will be held November 8.
