Angle to Vie for Griffis-Widewater District

Stafford County, Va. –– Keith Angle says it’s his time to be elected to the Board of Supervisors.

The 36-year resident of Stafford County says he wants to be the next conservative politician to represent the Griffis-Widewater District, unseating Democratic Supervisor Bob Woodson.

Woodson is the first African-American to serve on Stafford’s Board.

“I don’t want unseat the first African-American on the Stafford Board, I want to unseat a liberal Democrat,” said Angle.

Angle said he’s not satisfied with Woodson’s voting record, but was unable to say which issue or ordinance Woodson supported that irked him the most. In a press release, Angle remarked “consistent ‘no’ votes by the incumbent threatens to stifle the positive trajectory of the current Board of Supervisors.”

Angle says the county needs to continue to attract new business, and praised the county’s economic development office, as well as the Board of Supervisors Republican majority’s efforts to bring new business to the county.

Having never held a political office, he’s hoping serving on the Board will better provide him with knowledge of the issues facing residents.

“After about a year on the board, I will be able to better answer questions about key issues facing residents,” said Angle. “I am going to have to get out on the streets, talk to people and let them know what I’m about.”

In a press release, Angle outlined funding public safety, transportation improvements and controlling regional growth as key issues in his campaign.

Angle is married to his wife of 39-years, Ruth, and has two adult children who live out of state.

He spent most of his life working on and installing two-way radio systems in Fredericksburg, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties, and retired in 2007.

Virginia residents will have have their at the polls Nov. 8.
