Northern Virginia Transportation Authority: “On June 8th, the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) marked a momentous occasion as it celebrated two significant milestones. This year, NVTA is proudly commemorating its 20th anniversary since its establishment, in addition to celebrating its 10th funding anniversary. These achievements were made possible through the passing of two pivotal bills.”

“In 2002, former Governor Mark Warner signed Senate Bill 576, which brought NVTA into existence. This legislation laid the foundation for the Authority to address transportation challenges in Northern Virginia. Over a decade later, in 2013, former Governor Robert McDonnell signed House Bill 2313, a transformative bill that granted NVTA a dedicated revenue stream. The funding made possible by HB 2313 has been instrumental in supporting NVTA’s mission of financing multimodal transportation projects aimed at reducing congestion across the region.”

The investigation revealed earlier that morning, the victim, a 25-year-old woman, was inside her apartment in the 10200 block of Launch Cl. when an acquaintance, later identified as the accused, entered the residence without consent.”

“While inside the apartment, the accused pushed the victim before taking her phone. The accused refused to return the phone before forcing the victim into a vehicle driven by another acquaintance. While driving, the accused forced the victim to electronically transfer funds from her account.”


Prince William police: “Shooting Investigation – On June 12 at 3:18PM, officers responded to the area of Cloverdale Rd. and Carlsbad Rd. in [Dale City] to investigate a shooting.

Officers immediately provided first aid until fire and rescue personnel arrived and transported the victims to an area hospital where their injuries were determined to be non-life threatening.”

“The investigation revealed the victims, and two other individuals were inside a parked vehicle when they were approached by three masked men. One of the men brandished a firearm and fired multiple rounds, striking the two victims. When the occupants attempted to drive away, they inadvertently reversed into a nearby home before the vehicle stopped. The suspects fled in a separate vehicle prior to police arriving at the scene. No additional injuries were reported. While checking the area, officers located three homes and one vehicle that also sustained damage from being struck by gunfire.

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.”
