Kecia Evans is no stranger to politics, a wife and mother of four children with more than 22 years of experience in criminal justice.
She's got experience on the local level serving as Secretary of the Stafford County Board of Zoning Appeals and the former chair of the Special Education Advisory Committee for the Stafford County School Board.
"I decided to run again in order to give the Fighting 88th a new voice," Evans, a Democrat, told Potomac Local News.
Originally from New Jersey, Evans came to Virginia in 1992 with her family while her father served in the U.S. Air Force. Evans would graduate from Gar-Field High School in Woodbridge in 1996 and later earn degrees in criminal justice and cybersecurity from the University of Maryland-University College and Regent School of Law. Evans has spent the last 16 years working for an agency that provides advocacy and legal representation to indigent adults and teenagers.
This isn't Evans' first time around in the 88th District, which includes portions of Stafford, Fauquier, Spotsylvania counties, and Fredericksburg. She also ran in a Democratic Primary for the seat in 2019 but lost to Jessica Foster. With the winner of that race, Delegate Mark Cole retiring after more than 20 years in the seat, the field has become open for Evans to take another shot.Â
