Here’s what they told us:
I wish to take this opportunity to heartily endorse Paul B. Ebert for reelection as the Commonwealth’s Attorney of Prince William County.
Mr. Ebert has dedicated his life to his chosen profession. He has built a solid foundation by skillfully and professionally prosecuting some of the most heinous, complex and highly-publicized crimes of our times.
If you live in Prince William County, the unfortunate reality is that, like the vast majority of us, you probably don’t also work in Prince William County.
Sadly, we simply don’t have nearly enough high-paying jobs in our community to provide our residents with competitive salaries as compared to Washington and our neighboring counties. The average annual salary for jobs in Prince William County is $46,000 per year.
While Supervisors are nominated by a political party, there is no place for partisanship in local politics, speed bumps, pot holes, traffic, sidewalks and bike trails are neither republican nor democrat.
Partisanship divides, segregates, chooses winners and losers. Woodbridge residents I’ve talked to, over 3,500 so far, look to their supervisor to work hard in their best interest, and get things done, not play small, petty partisan politics.
The Brentsville Tigers was the first team on the scoreboard Friday night.
They played the Warren County Wildcats at home in Nokesville in front of a crowd donned in home team colors orange and black.
