Paul Ebert is running to keep his job as Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney. It’s a job that he has held since 1968, making him the longest-serving and most experienced top prosecutors in Virginia.
Ebert’s opponent is Micheal C. May, who currently serves on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
Prince William police are looking into the death of a teenager who was reported missing.
Christopher James Owens, 15, was reported missing on Saturday from his home in the 10100 block of Banchory Circle in Bristow.
Transportation officials will reconsider their plan to build a commuter parking lot on a Haymarket farm inside the Rural Crescent.
The proposed commuter lot is part of a wider plan to improve Interstate 66 by adding toll lanes, new transit service, and expanding commuter parking options.
Prince William County Residents will be heading to the polls in November to choose their School Board Members for the next term. For anyone that truly cares about all children, the choice is clear: Betty D. Covington, School Board Member for the Potomac District.
I have had the privilege of working with Mrs. Covington as a teacher for sixteen years while she was the principal of Kilby Elementary and as an Associate Superintendent while she served on the School Board. I observed firsthand her dedication to and tireless efforts on behalf of the teachers, students, and parents of Prince William County.
Potomac Local sponsored a debate between Ruth Anderson and Earnie Porta. Both are running to replace Mike May as the Occoquan District Supervisor on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
The bodies of two teenagers were found in a van at a park in Dale City.
Here’s the police report:
I am the present School Board member representing the Potomac District. I am a candidate for reelection. I have never joined a political party.
I am an Independent. The School Board is nonpartisan. I belong to the Children’s Party. I vote for what I feel is best for our children’s education.
Providing for public safety and ensuring our brave men and women in law enforcement have the tools they need to do their jobs effectively is among the top priorities of any elected official. In the Town of Dumfries, where I serve as Mayor, that responsibility took on added meaning a couple years ago.
As many of you know, the reputation of the Dumfries Police Department took a big hit in 2010 when there was major turnover within the Department, including the Chief and Assistant Chief, following an investigation into wrongdoing and mismanagement by the Virginia State Police and Virginia Department of Criminal Justice, as well as an internal investigation.
On November 3, I will be voting for Earnie Porta for Occoquan Supervisor.
He has the experience in municipal finance, the proven leadership skills in government as Mayor of Occoquan and the right priorities and ideas for addressing our challenges in education, transportation, economic development and environmental protection.
As the former Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia, I have worked with Commonwealth’s Attorneys throughout the state. And as a resident of Prince William County, I strongly support Mike May to be our next Commonwealth’s Attorney – our local prosecutor.
When considering the candidates for Commonwealth’s Attorney, the most important thing we should look for is a leader whose judgment we can trust. We need someone of even-handed temperament who will be firm, fair and transparent in all circumstances.
