Opinion

June 9th is Election Day and Prince William County has a “Hotly Contested”election between Tim Ciampaglio and Mark Dudenhefer in the Second District. This is one of the easiest decisions I have ever had to make in an election. Tim Ciampaglio has rolled out detailed plan after plan with a vision for where he wants to lead us. Mark Dudenhefer has done nothing but make false attacks and try to hide his tax and spend record. It is no wonder people call him “Duden-Hiker” for all the taxes he raised while in office. Did you know that when he represented Prince William and Stafford Counties, he not only voted for Virginia’s largest tax hike, but he also voted to raise three special taxes on Prince William County that he would not have to pay in Stafford. He made our sales tax higher, put a special property tax on us when we sell our homes, and put a special tax on our hotels. I will never vote for a person who believes it’s OK for me to pay a tax that he doesn’t pay.


Darrell English is running to become the next Stafford County Clerk of the Circuit Court. If he wins, he’ll replace Barbara Decatur whose held the job since 2001.

English faces two Primary Election challengers: Republicans Kathy Sterne and Jim Fry. Voters will head to the polls June 9 to select which Republican will move ahead to the November General Election.

To the Editor:

I’m voting for Jeremy McPike because I know he’s the strongest candidate, because I know he has the smartest policies, and because I know he’s the most effective leader running for State Senate. But that’s not the only reason I’m voting for Jeremy. I’m voting for Jeremy because I see in him the capability and passion necessary to protect and cultivate the community that I grew up in and the community that I love. Like Jeremy I was born and raised in Woodbridge and as a child of Ghanaian immigrants I was taught to realize how lucky I was to live in an area where I could grow and learn and dream far beyond what my parents could in their childhood.
