PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — Stanley Bender, who has his name on the ballot to be the next Prince William County School Board Chairman, At-large, has been largely absent from the campaign trail.
He’s raised zero dollars and failed to show up to debates between his fellow candidates Alyson Satterwhite, who is endorsed by Republicans, and Babur Lateef, endorsed by Democrats.
O.W.L. V.F.D members visited more than 55 homes this weekend in the River Ridge community to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and change batteries. Residents were ready, with new batteries in hand and open doors to welcome the fire fighters.
Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department reminds residents that one easy step can help save their lives and the lives of those around them. Twice a year change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, test the alarms and remind friends, family, neighbors and fellow community members to do the same.
WOODBRIDGE — Residents on Tuesday night attended the first of three open house events focused on drafting the next Prince William County Comprehensive Plan.
Officials are seeking input from residents about its 2040 comprehensive plan which is the “long-term” vision for the county that lays out the levels of services.
Alyson Satterwhite believes, “A School Board that is constantly distracted by politics is not able to focus.” A long-time school board member in Prince William County, she was the first to file candidacy for Chairman of the Prince Willam County School Board for the upcoming November 2018 Special Election. Satterwhite is duking it out with Interim School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef and retired Woodbridge resident Stanley Bender, who are also on the ballot.
Below, find Satterwhite’s responses to our Project: Election questionnaire.
