WOODBRIDGE, Va. – The Prince William County Republican Committee’s annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner on May 3, 2025, shattered records for both attendance and fundraising, pulling in $70,000 and netting over $40,000. According to a press release, held near Manassas, the sold-out event drew strong support from the local business community and showcased the party’s growing diversity.
Lieutenant Governor and Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle Sears headlined the evening alongside Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts. Prince William County Supervisor Yesli Vega also addressed the crowd, praising the diverse turnout and emphasizing the party’s evolving makeup. “The diversity of the attendees demonstrates the growth of the modern Republican party in this county and the country,” said PWCRC Chairman Jacob Alderman.
Sears laid out her pro-business platform and called for an “all of the above” energy policy to drive job creation. Roberts, meanwhile, contrasted Sears with her Democratic opponent, Abigail Spanberger, questioning her moderate label and urging conservatives to act decisively.
Just days after the dinner, Supervisor Vega made headlines again by launching a new political action committee (PAC)—and kicking it off with a $100,000 donation from a data center developer, according to the Prince William Times. The contribution places the PAC on a strong financial footing from the outset, coming amid continued debate in the county over the expansion of data centers.
Vega, a former Prince William County sheriff’s deputy, is a two-time elected representative for the Coles District on the Board of County Supervisors. She first won her seat in 2019 and was re-elected in 2023. In 2022, she ran as the Republican nominee for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. She narrowly lost to incumbent Democrat Abigail Spanberger, now running for Virginia Governor, in a high-profile and closely watched race.
Since then, Vega has remained a prominent figure in Northern Virginia conservative politics and is seen as a potential contender for higher office.
