The Democratic Party charter states: “What we seek for our Nation, we hope for all people – individual freedom in the framework of a just society, political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all citizens.
Bound by the U.S. Constitution, aware that a party must be responsive to be worthy of responsibility, we pledge ourselves to open, honest endeavor and to the conduct of public affairs in a manner worthy of a society of free people.”
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.
Margaret Franklin will run for a second term on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. She’s represented the Woodbridge District since January 2020.
During her time in office, Franklin has secured half a billion dollars worth of investments into the Woodbridge District, including the Riverside Station Town Center, a new I-95 distribution center, and investments in small businesses, particularly those impacted by the coronavirus.
