The field of candidates for local elections in Prince William County is getting smaller.
Republicans held their “firehouse primary” in Prince William County on Saturday. The results of those races tell us which member of the GOP will go on to face their Democratic challengers in the November General Election.
Voting in the firehouse primary took place between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at various locations across the county. The firehouse primary was held instead of a traditional primary on June 9 due to paperwork filing error on the part of the Prince William County Republican Party.
The results of the 2015 Prince William County Republican Firehouse Primary:
Constitutional Offices
Sheriff: Glenn Hill
Clerk of Court: Michele McQuigg
Board of County Supervisors
Chairman: Corey Stewart
Coles Supervisor: Marty Nohe
Occoquan Supervisor: Ruth Anderson
Woodbridge Supervisor: Steve Chapman
Prince William County Republican Party Chairman Bill Card issued this statement:
“I want to thank all of the dedicated Republicans who helped us put on our Party Canvass with about 6,500 voters,” said Chairman Bill Card. “My hat goes off to all of the candidates who ran but didn’t win. Mike Messier, Austin Haynes, Paul O’Meara, Chris Crawford, and Lee Price were respectful throughout the campaign and they should be proud of their effort.
“We now have a slate of candidates who will represent Republicans well in November. As the County continues to grow, Republicans look forward to putting forward substantive proposals to address the challenges that lay ahead for our community.”
