WOODBRIDGE — (Press release) Prince William County’s newest supervisor, Victor S. Angry, was sworn in this morning to fill the vacant Neabsco District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.
Angry takes over the seat left vacant at the death of John D. Jenkins, who served on the board for 36 years before his death in February.
Clerk of the Circuit Court, Jacqueline Smith, welcomed everyone to the ceremony at its beginning and called the event a “momentous occasion.” “We’ll be swearing in Victor Angry – the first ever African American member of the board of county supervisors.”
Angry, a retired U.S. National Guard Command Sergeant Major, told supporters at the ceremony, held in the atrium of the McCoart Government Center, that he was thankful to have been elected and that he couldn’t have done it without the help of those in the district.
Angry called Jenkins “The People’s Supervisor.”
Jenkins widow, Ernestine Jenkins, endorsed Angry at the ceremony.
Angry will complete the remainder of Jenkins’ term, which runs through the end of this year. The Neabsco District Supervisor Office will continue to be located at 4361 Ridgewood Center and may be reached at 703-792-4667 for constituent services.
