Stafford County is at a crossroads. From the debate over data centers to a controversial Buc-ee’s proposal, residents are raising tough questions about growth, taxes, and transparency.

In this episode of the Potomac Local News Podcast, host Uriah Kiser sits down with Bart Randall, a 25-year Navy veteran, 19-year Stafford resident, and candidate for the Garrisonville District Supervisor seat, vying to unseat incumbent Pamela Yeung.

Bart has pledged to bring a new style of leadership to Stafford — one that includes regular town halls, open communication, and a focus on building a stronger commercial tax base to relieve the burden on homeowners.

🎙️ Episode Highlights:

• Why Bart is holding town halls before Election Day — and promises to keep them going if elected

• Concerns about a proposed Buc-ee’s near Embrey Mill and its impact on neighborhoods and small businesses
