PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — Glendel “Glen” Hill is seeking a fifth term as Prince William County Sheriff.
Hill announced his re-election bid this week, noting he wants to continue “to build upon the accomplishments his office has achieved over the last 15 years.”
Some of those recent accomplishments were advocating for an expanded jail with 204 new beds, at a cost of $50,0000. Construction on the project is underway.
Hill in 2016 worked with the Board of County Supervisors to lower the $50 concealed gun permit fee to $15, agreeing to forgo the $35 per permit fee collected by his office.
Hill, a Republican moderate with a long list of accolades to include more than 40 years of experience, is assembling his campaign team, states his press release. He grabbed headlines in 2017 when he rescinded his support for the then Virginia gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart — whom he worked with to lower the conceal carry permit fee — and instead endorsed Ed Gillespie after Stewart was embroiled in controversy after showing support for the Confederate Battle Flag.
Two-time Prince William County political candidate Josh King also wants the sheriff’s job. He’s unsuccessfully sought a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates twice in the past three years.
King lives in Dumfries and is a Fairfax County sheriff’s deputy. He has the support of Democrats who are making inroads in Prince William County.
In the Nov. 6, 2018 Mid-Term Elections, county voters sent Senator Tim Kaine Back to Washington with 65 percent of the vote. And though she didn’t win, voters in Prince William overwhelmingly chose Vangie Williams to be their congresswoman in Virginia’s 1st District.
Prince Willaim voters will go to the polls to vote for their sheriff’ on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019.
