Tom Gordy announced his candidacy for the open Brentsville District supervisor seat in Prince William County.
The Republican represents the Brentsville District on the Prince William County Planning Commission and Veterans Commission.

The store will be the future site of a new Prince William County Government crisis receiving center designed to help residents experiencing a mental breakdown. The center will provide a place, other than a hospital or jail, for patients to receive help and recover.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors dean announced her run to become its chair.
Jeanine Lawson, who served on the board the longest of all its eight members since 2014, seeks to unseat Ann Wheeler, who has served as board chair since 2020. Lawson has been an outspoken opponent of Wheeler and the majority of Democrats who have pushed to put more data centers and other industrial businesses in the western portion of the county.
