Craig says it much better than I do, and I totally agree. Sharon Pandak deserves our votes in Prince William County because she is honest and has integrity. Corey Stewart is the wrong Corey to serve on the board, because that honor should go to Corey Riley (running for Gainesville District Supervisor against incumbent John Stirrup).
Corey Stewart is ruthlessly using any and every tactic to stay in office, but not actually doing anything meaningful. The anti-immigration rhetoric is unfunded, and destined to fail because he really does not want to do anything about the issue – he just wants to sound like he is to stir voters into supporting him at the polls. Likewise he has done nothing to abate rapid and ill-considered growth in the county since he was elected. He simply abuses that very real issue to mislead voters into supporting him while he takes money from developers to campaign some more. For him, this is about his ego. We have to live here though, and we need someone who has integrity. That chairman is Sharon Pandak. She’s a lawyer, she’s technical, she’s frank, she’s honest. You may not like the grim reality she shares, but she gives it to us straight. No misleading double talk, no campaign tactics out of the Karl Rove playbook.
Likewise John Stirrup has done very little of use while he’s been in office as Gainesville District Supervisor, like Stewart he has pushed these hot-button issues that he really cannot control from the office of supervisor, and the issue he can do something about (growth without a plan) has only received token vocal resistance from Supervisor Stirrup. Meanwhile growth continues unchecked and the rural crescent is threatened. It is time we got an honest, fresh, enthusiastic champion in Gainesville District, and Corey Riley is the man to do it.
Sadly very few voters know there is an election this year, and very few of those who do know we have a contested race for Gainesville District Supervisor. You owe it to yourselves to do the research and be an educated voter. If you have not voted before – get registered by Tuesday, October 9th in order to vote in this November’s election.
