Prince William County residents will move to recall the county's top leader during a press conference on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, sources tell Potomac Local News.

The recall press conference for Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chair At-large Ann Wheeler will occur at 6:30 p.m. at the McCoart Government Administration Building, at 1 County Complex in Woodbridge, before the start of the Board's 7:30 p.m. meeting.

Wheeler is accused of using her position of power for financial gain when purchasing stocks in tech and data center firms looking to expand in the county. Data centers, or server farms that power the internet, have taken an interest in the county under Wheeler's leadership due to its relaxed policies, lower land cost, and access to fiber lines.
