Potomac Local News has obtained an email in which Wheeler calls the lawsuit against her and her fellow Democrats on the Board of County Supervisors “frivolous” and “politically motivated.” It’s the first time Potomac Local News has seen a comment about this case from any of the elected defendants, despite seeking comments multiple times.

He also wrote, “Vega is a warrior for America First,” and tied to Spanberger to voting to support President Biden’s agenda 100% of the time, despite campaigning as a moderate.

It’s rare for elected officials to speak about happenings outside their jurisdiction.
That’s why, this week, when the Fairfax Board of County Supervisors urged the Supervisors in neighboring Prince William County to pump the brakes on the county’s most significant economic development project in its history — the Prince William Digital Gateway, with 2,100 square feet acres for new data centers, an area 15 times the size of Potomac Mills mall — the action made the news.
Police said the victim was walking near an on-ramp from Interstate 95 to Route 234 when he was struck by the driver of a 2013 Hyundai Sonota exiting the highway. The 27-year-old driver from Stafford County was attempting to merge onto Route 234 when he struck the pedestrian, and he stayed at the crash scene following the collision.
Rescue crews took the victim, 31-year-old Jamel Terrell Tanner, to an area hospital, where he died. Police said Tanner was wearing dark clothing when the driver struck him.
