PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — (Press Release) Yesli Vega, a military wife, mother, former police officer, and Prince William County Sheriff’s deputy announced her campaign for the Prince William County Board of Supervisors Coles Magisterial District.
If elected, Vega, a Republican would serve as the first minority representative in the history of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
Born in Texas, Vega was raised in Northern Virginia and graduated from Annandale High School.
Vega started with the Alexandria Police Department on the “street beat” as a patrol officer and later became a Field Training Officer, certified Hostage Negotiator, and served on the Crisis Intervention Team.
She also oversaw department spending which helped hard-working taxpayers by reducing wasteful spending.
“First, as a former law enforcement officer, public safety and protecting the citizens of Prince William County will be one of my top priorities,” said Vega. “Second, we must reduce the tax burden on our homeowners by broadening our tax base with policies that attract more businesses to the county. There’s no reason our hard-working homeowners should have to pay the highest real estate taxes of any county in the region.”
“Finally, the growth at-all-costs strategy toward development we’ve seen over the last decade must be replaced with a more balanced approach that respects the wishes of our neighbors. Hour-long work commutes and overcrowded schools are only two consequences of past decisions. Prince William County is a great place to live and raise a family, but we must elect citizen legislators who put the interest of the public over their own private interests when it comes to development.”
In addition to her career in law enforcement, Vega has served the Prince William Community as a mentor to at-risk youth through the Cal Ripken Foundation’s “Badges for Baseball” program. She has also coached her daughter’s youth soccer teams, and volunteers with Special Olympics, Girl Scouts, and “Santa Cops”.
Vega is a graduate of American Military University and the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy. She resides in the Coles District with her husband, Rene, and their two children who attend Prince William County Public Schools.
The Coles District seat is currently held by Marty Nohe, who is not seeking reelection to the seat but rather to the Prince William County Board of Supervisors At-large seat.
Republican Paul O’Mera is also making a second run at the Coles District seat this year, and Republican Patrick Sowers is making his first.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
