Politics

Shawn Brann is running to be the next Brentsville District Representative on the Prince William County School Board. If elected, he would replace Gil Trenum, who is not seeing reelection.

Brann temporarily replaced Trenum on the School Board in 2016 when the U.S. Navy deployed Trenum to Africa. Brann ceded the seat upon Trenum’s return the next year.
