Prince William
Ann Wheeler will seek a second term as chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.
She’s led the governing body for Virginia’s second-largest jurisdiction since January 2020. Since that time, she’s pushed a progressive agenda that has been applauded by her supporters who wish to grow the county’s tax commercial tax base and vilified by others who have mounted a recall petition for the Democrat.

In her fourth State of the County address, Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chair At-Large Ann Wheeler remarked on the community’s diversity and inclusivity, investing in education, economic development, the county’s economy, collective bargaining, public safety, and transportation.
“I am thrilled to announce that our economy is thriving,” Wheeler said in her remarks. “Our internal economic development initiatives alone have resulted in $1.3 billion in capital investment in just 2022, leading to the creation and retention of over 1,700 jobs. Thanks to the resilience and determination of our community, we have not only weathered the storm but have emerged stronger than ever before. Our county has become a place where people can live, work, and play with confidence and optimism for the future.”
