Wendy Maurer is the Republican nominee for the Rock Hill District of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors.
Maurer, a Quantico businesswoman, beat out challenger Adela Bertoldi by eight points in the race.
Maurer attributed her win to the support of her family and her community.
As she prepares to face two independent candidates in November, she will focus on better schools and better development are two main issues campaign issues.
“We need to make sure we fund our schools to have teachers available to teach our children,” said Maurer.
Stafford schools cut 55 teachers from the school division last year, said Maurer. She said it’s up to the Board of Supervisors to work hand in hand with the school board to ensure schools are properly funded.
Maurer says she will work to attract more businesses to the county — something the county has already had great success in doing — but adds the Rock Hill District doesn’t have the necessary road infrastructure needed for the development of new homes.
Maurer says she will make updating the county’s comprehensive plan a priority to control growth in the area.
