PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — (Press Release) Loudoun County Supervisor Geary Higgins is announcing his candidacy for Virginia’s 13th Senate Seat, being vacated by Senator Dick Black.
“Almost every important issue facing residents in Loudoun and Prince William Counties deals with quality of life – high quality schools, less traffic, low crime, low taxes and protection of our liberties,” said Higgins.
“As an eight-year Supervisor, Chair of the Transportation and Land Use Committee and previous Co-Chair of the Joint School Board – Board of Supervisors Committee, I have the experience and track record of making government work for our residents not against them. I am running to take my experience and leadership to Richmond on behalf of the residents in Loudoun and Prince William Counties.”
“I give Geary Higgins my strongest endorsement for the 13th Senate District,” said Senator Dick Black. “Geary Higgins has demonstrated his commitment to defending the unborn and protecting the Second Amendment. He is a conservative statesman who will lead the Republicans to victory in November.”
“Geary Higgins has the governmental experience as a Supervisor and the private experience in resolving disputes for business organizations to prudently serve the citizens of the 13th Senate District,” Bob Marshall, former Prince William delegate for the 13th House District, said. “Geary is clear and candid. He knows that rights come from our Creator, and the first of these is the right to life for the innocent, from conception to natural death.”
“Our budget process is one of the most important issues we deal with on the Board,” according to Higgins. “I am proud to say, that since my election in 2011, I have been able to work with my Republican colleagues to reduce the tax rate on residents by $0.20 (cents). Just last year our Board lowered the tax rate by four cents and was still able to increase school funding by 6.6%. I am anxious to take this experience to Richmond on behalf of Loudoun and Prince William residents.”
Geary M. Higgins was elected to represent the Catoctin District in the Board of Supervisors in November 2011 and re-elected in 2015. Higgins serves as Chair of the Board’s Transportation and Land Use Committee and is a member of the Joint Board of Supervisors/School Board Committee, having previously served as co-chair of that committee.
