Opinion

I am writing to express our support for Mike May for Commonwealth Attorney.

I believe it is time for Prince William to change leadership and move forward. In the past two years we have had the unfortunate need to deal with Paul Ebert’s office. The experience was extremely upsetting to the children (victims) and my entire family for the lack of support for them and us during this horrible time.

I barely know Mike May. I have only met him briefly three or four times. I couldn’t tell you if he is married or if he has any kids. I don’t golf with him. Never been to his house. Never watched a football game with him.

In fact, I don’t know much about his record as a public servant. But I am encouraging everyone I know to vote for him to be the next Commonwealth’s Attorney for Prince William County because of what I know about Paul Ebert.

Potomac District School Board Member Betty Covington is a proven leader with considerable experience.

Betty has served as a teacher, principal and School Board Member.   With this background and an institutional memory for the evolution of our school system, Betty serves the County well in this, our most important responsibility as parents.  

I have had the pleasure of observing, first hand, how hard Andrea Bailey is working to study the important issues facing Prince William County as she seeks a seat on the Board of Supervisors.

She understands that changes are needed in the way the county board operates to get things done for our students, our senior citizens and our homeless population, among others.

Virginians deserve a healthy public discussion about how best to improve our transportation system. But that discussion must also be grounded in fact, not political rhetoric.  Unfortunately, the leadership of the House Republican Caucus is engaged in a campaign of misleading and flatly incorrect information on the McAuliffe administration’s proposal to improve I-66 inside the Beltway. So in the interest of good public policy, here are the facts.

Fact 1: Despite unfounded claims to the contrary, dynamic tolling on I-66 will reduce congestion.

I just had to reach out to you about County Supervisor Maureen Caddigan. 

As a resident of Prince William County for over 10 years, I’ve watched her operate in a very positive and consistent manner.  Always professional and personable; she may not have the answer you want to hear, but she’ll always be honest and share the “greater good” picture with you. 

The Police Association of Prince William County, Inc., is pleased to announce that we endorse Paul Ebert in the upcoming 2015 elections.

This endorsement is for his commitment to the citizens of Prince William County and his support for the police officers of Prince William County. 

This November 3, we will have an election for the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park.

The Commonwealth’s Attorney is the lead elected prosecutor of felony crimes in Virginia. Working with 22 assistants, the elected Commonwealth’s Attorney helps ensure justice for our community.

Since moving to Dale City in 1978, residential growth in our community has been a constant.

When I arrived, our population was less than 140,000 residents. Today, we’re over 440,000 people and counting.
