PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — On this Flag Day Friday, June 14, Supervisor Jeanine Lawson’s office has some new colors on the wall.
Members of the Freedom Museum in the Manassas Regional Airport joined members of the Stonewall Jackson Senior High School Air Force JROTC, who all presented the Brentsville District Supervisor with not only a U.S. flag for her office, but also flags from every branch of the U.S. military.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — Josh King won his bid to be the Democrat to run for Prince William County Sheriff.

STAFFORD — Qasim Rashid won his bid to be the Democratic nominee for Virginia Senate 28th District seat.
He beat his opponent, former Stafford County Board of Supervisors member Laura Sellers, by 377 votes. Rashid won Tuesday’s Primary Election with 61% of the vote, with a total of 5,498 ballots cast.

In the end, apparently, that didn’t matter to voters.
MANASSAS — Lee Carter beat his Democratic opponent in Tuesday’s Primary Election, Manassas City Councilman Mark Wolfe.
In a low-turnout competition, Carter beat Wolfe by 260 votes. Carter is Virginia’s first elected member of the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization Carter describes as a political action group.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — Latonsha D. “LT” Pridgen started campaigning early. She showed up to county meetings, knocked on doors to talk to voters, and talked to press.
In Tuesday’s Primary Election, she won 949 votes but it wasn’t enough for the woman who was not afraid to talk about her modest upbringings which drove her to fight for children living in poverty.
OCCOQUAN — Kenny Allen Boddye is the Democrat that will face Republican Ruth Anderson for the Occoquan District Supervisor’s seat.
Boddye handily beat Aaron C. “A.C.E.” Edmond in a Democratic Primary Election on Tuesday by 27 points. This is his first political win, in his second campaign. Boddye unsuccessfully challenged Delegate Hyla Ayala in a Primary Election in 2017.
