Former Stafford supervisor Robert Gibbons has announced he will run this year in the Rock Hill district.
Wendy Maurer was named the Republican nominee for the seat, following a primary on June 8.
According to a release, Gibbons began his political career in the 1980s, and is a business owner and a retired veteran.
Gibbons spent 16 years on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors.
During his time as a supervisor, he worked with the board on constructing courthouse buildings, the Stafford airport, the regional landfill, Centreport Parkway, establishing a University of Mary Washington campus in Southern Stafford and creating the Fredericksburg Regional Transit (FRED) bus system, stated a release.
“Between the beauty, safety, and strong education available in our region, not to mention the strong opportunities for business owners, Stafford County will only continue growing. It’s important that county leaders are able to support that growth without unduly burdening residents and while maintaining the area characteristics that make the county such an inviting place,” stated Gibbons.
During his candidacy, Gibbons would like to address continued expansion of the I-95 Express Lanes.
