Letter to the editor
I met Maureen Caddigan before she entered public life. We first collaborated when she was a member of the Prince William County School Board and worked closely since she has been a member of the Board of Supervisors representing the Potomac District. Maureen and I have worked on a variety of issues to include transportation, public safety and education.
As [a member] of the Board of Supervisors, Maureen understands the need for leadership and working as a team. She does not get involved in partisan bickering and readily reaches across party lines in order to accomplish a goal and improve the quality of life for the citizens of Prince William County.
As a resident of Prince William County for more than 45 years, Maureen is a mother whose children attended our schools, a wife who understands the challenges working families, and a devoted public servant. Maureen has proven time and again that the confidence the voters have placed in her was well founded.
During the course of my Senate career, I have called Maureen Caddigan many times for council and advice because I know she is a woman of integrity, and every decision she makes, she does so with the best interest of the citizens of Prince William County in mind. I am proud to call her my friend and I look forward to her return to the Board of Supervisors.
Charles J. Colgan served as Virginia State Senator for the 29th District from 1976 to 2015.
