This November, Prince William County has the opportunity to elect the individuals who will lead our local and state governments.
When choosing a leader, we all want to make sure we select the very best qualified person for the job which is not an easy task. It is for this reason that when we became aware of Andrea Bailey who is a Deaconess at a local church, highly educated, a small business owner with an extensive Human Resources experience, a military spouse, and advocate for family values with deep ties to Prince William County the Democratic Party requested that she run for office.
We knew upon coming into contact with her that she would use all of her knowledge and experience to immediately improve the quality of life for all the residents of Prince William County. She understood that we as citizens needed someone to champion our causes and fight for Progressive values at a time when we have been under attack, and Andrea Bailey agreed to be that champion.
Once Ms. Bailey committed to campaign to be the Potomac District Supervisor, she quickly proved herself as a formidable politician by successfully defeating her opponent in the primary by winning 70% of the vote on Election Day.
This victory earned her the respect and support of many state and federal politicians including Lt. Governor Northam, Attorney General Mark Herring, and Congressman Gerry Connolly in addition to a host of locally elected leaders including Delegate Scott Surovell and Supervisor Frank Principi.
In addition to electing this one of a kind candidate, we have an opportunity to make history in Prince William County by electing a highly qualified African American woman on our County Board of Supervisors for the very first time in more than 150 years in a majority minority county.
Once elected, Ms. Bailey would further cement her place a role model for young women and children of color all over the Commonwealth and even this nation.
Unfortunately, there are some well-seasoned Democrats in Northern Virginia who have a working relationship with Ms. Baileyâs opponent. It is because of those relationships that these individuals have elected to formally endorse the other individual in this race.
While we have nothing but respect for the service these individuals have given to our community, they do not speak for the Democratic Party. Sadly, these individuals have placed personal self-interest above progressive values and what is best for our community.
On Nov. 3, 2015 join us in making history by casting your vote for the Democratic-endorsed candidate Ms. Andrea Bailey.
