OCCOQUAN, Va. –– A Prince William County Supervisor who is running unopposed held a campaign kickoff Sunday.
Republican Mike May said he’s made progress on the Board of County Supervisors over the past four years, and noted his vision to make Lake Ridge a more pedestrian friendly.
Occoquan District Supervisor Mike May held his formal campaign kick off on Sunday, July 17th. In announcing his re-election bid, May noted the progress that has been made in Prince William over the past four years, including: keeping taxes low while maintaining quality county services; overseeing the county’s bond rating upgrades to AAA; making Prince William a more attractive place for business; working to control the pace of growth and protect open space and the environment; keeping the crime rate low; and improving pedestrian access and walkability in the Occoquan District.
Still, May noted that there was more work to be done. “It’s all about protecting our quality of life and making county government more transparent and responsive to the needs of our citizens,” said May.
Even though May is currently unopposed for the seat, the incumbent gave no indication of slacking off on the campaign trail. “We will not take anything for granted,” said May. “Our campaigns have never been about who the opponent is—they have always been about reaching out to the community and discussing our positive message for the Occoquan District and Prince William County. So, it doesn’t really matter whether we have an opponent or not. We will still aggressively bring this positive message to the community by going door to door and meeting as many folks as we can on the campaign trail.”
May gave a special note of thanks to his hardworking staff and his supportive family. He thanked them for the sacrifices they have made to give him the opportunity to serve the citizens of the Occoquan District and concluded his speech by saying, “I look forward to continuing to serve for another term. Together, we can continue to make a positive difference for Prince William County,”
