Press release | The Stafford County Democratic Committee elected a diverse new leadership team following their reorganization caucus today. Every two years, the committee must dissolve and elect new members according to rules set by the Democratic Party of Virginia.

Benjamin M. Litchfield, the previous Chairman, was reelected without opposition. “I believe we have made great progress in the past two years,” Litchfield said, commenting on the recent elections of Delegate Joshua G. Cole and Griffis-Widewater Supervisor Tinesha Allen. “Our challenges this year are even greater and we cannot skip a beat. So, we’re getting right back to work. I am very eager to work with this team and think we can do great things together.”

On January 6, we were the first to tell you doctors at Rappahannock Women’s Health Center will no longer deliver babies at Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg.

Fredericksburg press release | The signal cable and equipment at Prince Edward and George streets near Hurkamp Park are beyond repair.

Our Public Works crew has set the signal to flashing red on both the Prince Edward Street and the George Street approaches and has added temporary stop signs to the intersection. The City is working with Kimley-Horn consultants to study whether the signalized intersection is warranted or if it can be decommissioned and another method of traffic control be implemented.
