Opinion
I just had to reach out to you about County Supervisor Maureen Caddigan.
As a resident of Prince William County for over 10 years, I’ve watched her operate in a very positive and consistent manner. Always professional and personable; she may not have the answer you want to hear, but she’ll always be honest and share the “greater good” picture with you.
My first encounter with Supervisor Caddigan was when I was a Marine. We worked together to bring needed road upgrades to the southeastern portion of the county due to the significant growth aboard the Quantico Marine Corps Base. That growth was due to the new Criminal Investigative building. It was a result of 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) directive and would result in 3,000 new jobs to our area. She fought for parking, wider roads, additional lanes, and the environment.
Just last Monday I saw Supervisor Caddigan’s work again. This time it was for the groundbreaking and naming ceremony for the Ali Krieger Sports complex at the Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School in Potomac Shores.
It was apparent that this was a project that Ms. Caddigan had planned and provided key leadership for the negotiations with land owners, developers, school officials (both private and public) and the Prince William Soccer Club (PWSI). These field are needed for our children and sports activities. Simply put, this complex will be the best in the area and will help increase the value of local resident’s homes.
We are blessed to have many great public servants in Prince William County, but none of them better than Maureen Caddigan.
Jim Longi is a resident of the Ashland community in Prince William County. Maureen Caddigan is running against Andrea Bailey to keep her seat on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
