Maureen Caddigan kicked off her bid to keep her seat as the Prince William County Potomac District Supervisor.
Caddigan held her campaign kick off Thursday night at the Dumfries-Triangle Rescue Squad on Graham Park Road in Dumfries. About 100 people turned out to greet Caddigan, according to a campaign press release.
Caddigan told Potomac Local she would campaign on a platform of “finishing what she started” by continuing her effort to bring economic development to the Route 1 corridor in Triangle. The is home to the National Museum of the Marine Corps and was once home to several fast food restaurants and other roadside businesses that were demolished to make way for a wider Route 1.
Caddigan was first elected to the Board of Supervisors in 1991 after serving on the county’s School Board. Two Democrats also interested in the seat – Dumfries Town Councilman Derrick Wood and political newcomer Andrea Bailey – will face each other in a Primary Election in the spring.
Caddigan’s campaign kick-off party featured food and refreshments from Jeremiah’s Kansas City Barbeque. During the event, many who attended pledged to work on Caddigan’s campaign, according to a press release. She refers to campaign volunteers as “Caddigan’s Army,” the release stated.
Once known as the Dumfries Magisterial District, the district was renamed the Potomac District in 2011. It includes the Town of Dumfries, Town of Quantico, as well as areas outside the towns located in Prince William County like Montclair, Brittany, and Potomac Shores.
Currently, no Caddigan has no Republican challengers.
