Less than a month to go and what should a candidate be most concerned about? Getting out to meet as much of the public as possible? Leaving literature when you go door-to-door and no one is home? Where to place my campaign signs so they are not removed or damaged? Many of these concerns headline my campaign, but the Number 1 concern is – How can I ensure that the voters know who I am and what I am all about.

My name is Joseph George, a resident within the Neabsco District, and I wanted to introduce myself to the public. I am a husband of almost 15 years and a father of three wonderful daughters that are currently in their last year of their particular schools (Woodbridge Senior High School, Woodbridge Middle School, and Minnieville Elementary).

Opinion

At 18, I don’t understand the complexities of politics. It seems to me that a profession that should require the best of man, attracts the worst qualities in man, power hungry, egotistical, selfish.

They call themselves leaders but they use words that divide us. It doesn’t make sense, so why should we be engaged and pay attention?


Opinion

Serving the Woodbridge Magisterial District as your full-time Supervisor for the last eight years has been a privilege and an honor.  

I am thankful for the opportunity that the residents of eastern Woodbridge have given me and I never take for granted the awesome responsibility that is public service. During my time in office, we have accomplished great things together: widening Route 1 to improve safety and reduce travel times; building new schools and classrooms and hiring new teachers to help reduce overcrowded classrooms; and pushing for smart development like Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center while also investing in a new network of sidewalks, bike paths and walking trails.
