Hello, I’m Uriah Kiser and this is your Potomac Local update.
July 26, 2015 marks 25 years since the day the Americans with Disabilities Act commonly known as the ADA was signed by George H.W. Bush.
Downtown Manassas will make its television debut on a History Channel program this year.
According to Manassas Museum programs coordinator Doug Horhota, the History Channel decided to film a program on war trains in Manassas because the city is known for its trains.
Residents of the 31st House District of VA (which includes parts of Dumfries, Dale City, Woodbridge, and Triangle in Prince William County, and Catlett, Calverton, and Casanova in southern Fauquier County) have an opportunity this year to elect an educator to the House of Delegates. Since only eight of our current delegates have a teaching background, the election of Sara Townsend would provide the much-needed addition of someone who has teaching experience and an interest in education policy.
Sara Townsend, a resident of Fauquier County, is a former teacher who is currently pursuing a PhD in Education Policy at George Mason University. One of her strong motivations to challenge Delegate Scott Lingamfelter for this seat is her desire to speak up for students, teachers, and parents in the decision-making body of Virginia. She recognizes the importance of prioritizing education and the proper balance of students and teachers in the classroom if children are expected to do their best and learn.
