The Stafford County Board of Supervisors formally recognized Supervisor Meg Bohmke on Tuesday with a proclamation detailing her more than a decade-long record of elected service, leadership, and policy work on behalf of the county.

The ceremonial presentation took place during the board’s Dec. 16, 2025, meeting and highlighted Bohmke’s roles at the county, regional, and state levels.

Diggs defended the Board of Supervisors’ recent handling of a contentious meeting, saying that the agenda change was made “to accommodate an attorney whose wife had recently undergone surgery,” not to silence public comment. “The FOIA request submitted will confirm these facts—but it will likely never see the light of day, because there is simply no there there,” he added.
