Dana Reinboldt hopes to recapture her seat representing the Griffis-Widewater Distict on the Stafford County School Board.
She announced her candidacy today in a special election to be held Nov. 8, 2016 to replace Emily Fallon who resigned earlier this year after allegations surfaced that PTA funds at Moncure Elementary School went missing while Fallon was PTA president.
