Friends, neighbors, and citizens of Woodbridge, Woodbridge has spoken.
In every campaign, there is a victor and the vanquished. Today, I congratulate Frank Principi and wish him well in his next term serving the people of Woodbridge on the County Board of Supervisors.
I am writing in support of Fred Sweat for Supervisor in Stafford County’s Griffis-Widewater District.
I’ve gotten to know Fred because he owns Sunnyside Nursery near my home in North Stafford. It’s a wonderful nursery and unique gift shop and I am there often meandering about the flowers, sculptures and beautiful water features. And while his nursery operation is impressive, I am more impressed with the man himself.
This week, VDOT will hold a series of hearings on the I-95 HOV/HOT (High Occupancy Vehicle/High Occupancy Toll) Lanes Project. As President of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, I see this project as critical for the long term prosperity of our region. It will boost the local economy, create jobs and help get traffic moving on congested Interstate 95.
Research from George Mason University found that construction of the I-95 project is expected to support 8,000 jobs and create significant opportunities for small businesses and contractors. It could not come at a better time. While our economy is showing signs of recovery, the construction industry is still hurting. This project will help get contractors back to work.
The 36th Senate District of Virginia needs new leadership, and Jeff Frederick is the best person for the job.
Everywhere you go these days people are hungering for a new environment in the halls of power, a new wind that will blow down barriers to business and job creation. They are tired of arrogant regulations, burdensome taxes, and unnecessary layers of government that have assumed lives of their own and are killing the very same enterprises they should be supporting.
