My name is Ann Wheeler, and I know the people and the issues in Prince William County, and as Chair, I’ll make sure we work together to make our county stronger.
- I’m running to ensure we have the best schools here in Prince William County.
We have the largest class sizes in the state and the lowest-paid teachers in the region.
- When elected to the Board, I will make it one of my primary missions to make sure we build the schools we need and pay our teachers what they deserve.
I will also make Prince William County attractive and welcoming to large and small prospective businesses.
- My background is in business, and when elected, I will actively recruit businesses to come to Prince William County, create jobs and help our county realize its full potential.
Our residents spend too much time sitting in traffic.
- I will work to ensure less traffic and more transit options in Prince William County. When elected, I will make permanent improvements to Route 28 and push for a study to explore bringing Metro’s Blue Line to Woodbridge.
Before moving to Prince William County, I worked as a consultant in the energy industry.
- I graduated from Tufts University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and earned an MBA from the University of Chicago, specializing in Finance.
Since I moved to Prince William County in 2001 with my husband and my two daughters, I have worked to make our county a better place.
- I recently completed a 2-year term as President of the Prince William County Committee of 100, a non-profit that provides public forums to discuss county issues.
- I’ve spent the last fourteen years as a NOVEC Board Member and the last two years on the Hylton Performing Arts Center Board.
- I also served as Chair of the Prince William County Board of Social Services for two years.
I pledge to bring inclusiveness for all citizens to Prince William County.
- As Chair of the Board of Social Services, I developed a clear sense of the key challenges facing our large and diverse county and the issues that must be addressed.
I am running for County Chair to make sure the future for all areas of the county is bright and prosperous.
- It’s time to give Prince William County a greater voice in Northern Virginia, and it’s time to make our county even more of a destination in the region.
- With strong leadership and a smart approach to problem-solving, we can achieve that.
