Steve Chapman, a small business owner, announced his campaign for the Woodbridge District Supervisor seat on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
Chapman, a graduate of Prince William County Public Schools, and graduate of George Mason University has been running his own business for 20 years.
In the community, Chapman has worked as an ESL teacher, and has served as Chairman of the Prince William County Family Alliance, Vice Chairman of the Prince William County Schools Career and Technical Education Committee, and the Vice Chairman of the Prince William Tax Payers Alliance.
Currently, Chapman serves as the President-elect for the Bull Run Rotary Club, as well as Treasurer of Discover Prince William and Manassas.
According to Chapman, he has four major platforms he looks to address during his campaign: public safety, education, revitalizing Route 1 and expanding transportation.
“I moved to here nearly 25 years ago, time has not been kind to our town: abandoned buildings are rampant, crime is up, our commute is longer, were spending more time in gridlock and less with our families, our children’s esteem has declined as schools test scores are lower, and dropout rate is higher. Our people are working harder for less, and our quality of life has diminished,” said Chapman in a press release.
Chapman will be running against Lee Price, another declared candidate for the Republican nomination. The Republican Party has decided that the nomination process will take place on April 25, and will be a “firehouse primary”, according to a member of Chapman’s staff.
