Prince William County Republicans canceled a series of mass meetings to determine candidates for three Board of County Supervisors seats.
The unneeded party conventions were to be used to determine the candidates for each office. Only one Republican filed to run for each seat by the April 6 filing date, negating the need for a nominating contest.
A group of leading Prince William County Republican Party voices is denouncing Republican candidate for Board of County Supervisors chair Kenn Knarr as a “Democrat masquerading as a Republican.”

Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears used the podium in Prince William County to encourage Republicans to vote early.
Sears urged Republicans to participate in the growing practice of mail-in voting, a practice more Democrats than Republicans have adopted since introduced in Virginia in 2020. Sears said Rep. Jennifer Higgins (R-Virginia Beach) lost Virginia Beach City because more voters cast mail-in absentee ballots for the Democrat in the race. Kiggans won the overall vote but would have performed better had more Republicans voted, said Sears.
