Mike Sienkowski, 39, is running for the GOP nomination for Stafford County Treasurer.
Sienkowski has worked for the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office (the office that determines county property values) for the past 17 years.

Washington Post: “The last time former Virginia delegates Jennifer Carroll Foy and Hala S. Ayala campaigned, both were chasing history before each ultimately fell short.”
“Carroll Foy sought unsuccessfully in 2021 to become the first African American woman to be elected governor of any state. Ayala — who identifies as Afro-Latina, Lebanese and Irish — aimed to be the first woman of color to hold a statewide office in Virginia during her unsuccessful run for lieutenant governor that same year. In Virginia, candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run separately, not on a traditional two-person ticket.”
