According to Principi, he is planning to run on his record, and what he has accomplished during his 8-years as Woodbridge Supervisor.
“I’m running on my record. My record of not just the vision of a new Woodbridge, but the fact that we’ve got a billion dollars in public and private investment over the last four years in Woodbridge. I think we have a lot to be proud of. We have five different smart growth projects at various different stages – coming up out of the ground in eastern Prince William…we’ve achieved a lot, but we still have a long way to go. If the 62 to 64,000 residents of Woodbridge will have me back, I’ll be happy to serve another four years,” said Principi.
Principi lives in Woodbridge with his wife and twin daughters.
