Yeung Holds Off Randall in Garrisonville; Democrats, New Faces Join Stafford Board of Supervisors

Stafford County voters ushered in a mix of familiar and new leadership Tuesday, re-electing Pam Yeung to the Garrisonville District seat on the Board of Supervisors while adding new Democratic and independent voices to the seven-member body.
The biggest story of the night came in Garrisonville, where Yeung fended off another challenge from Bart Randall, who ran as an independent. Yeung captured 57.50 percent of the vote (5,108 votes) to Randall’s 42.01 percent (3,732 votes), with write-ins at 0.48 percent (43 votes).
Randall hit Yeung hard on economic-development issues, accusing her of opposing new retail proposals and of abstaining on a key vote to tighten standards for data-center development in Stafford County — a 4-2-1 vote where Yeung was the lone abstention. He also questioned her claims that she helped secure a movie theater for the Garrison project in North Stafford after developer Bob Pence told supervisors that no deal has yet been finalized.
Despite those attacks, Yeung’s re-election ensures continuity on the board as Stafford navigates competing pressures of growth, traffic, and fiscal management.

School Board Races
While School Board candidates in Stafford run without party labels, several races reflected subtle partisan undercurrents.
Hartwood District

- Write-In – 0.63% (55 votes)
Blackwell prevailed in the three-way Garrisonville race. Siegmund, who ran as an independent, had sought but did not receive the Republican Party’s endorsement this year — an endorsement she previously held in 2021.
County Outlook
Once the new Board of Supervisors is seated in January, members will turn their attention to the Fiscal Year 2027 budget and the property-tax rate for homeowners — the county’s chief source of revenue to fund local government and public schools.
Earlier this year, the outgoing board adopted a $399 million FY 2026 budget and set the real-estate tax rate at $0.9236 per $100 of assessed value, resulting in an average tax bill of $4,069 for a home assessed at $434,400.
According to Commissioner of the Revenue Scott Mayausky, the average Stafford homeowner’s tax bill has risen 62 percent since 2012, roughly matching the county’s 60 percent increase in average home values over the same period.
The new board is expected to revisit priorities that drove this year’s marathon budget debate — including school funding, public safety spending, and the pace of Stafford’s growth.
Editor’s Note (November 5, 2025)
An earlier version of this article contained inaccurate information about the results of several Stafford County races.
The story incorrectly reported that Steven D. Epple won the Hartwood District School Board seat. The certified results show that Shannon M. Fingerholz won that race.
