GOP on rising crime in Prince William: ‘Criminals are emboldened; Jail is a revolving door’

Matt Lowery is running to replace Amy Ashworth as the Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney.

Republicans are making Prince William County's skyrocketing crime and murder rates a key campaign issue.

At a press conference outside the county courthouse on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, Matt Lowery, seeking to unseat Democrat Amy Ashworth to become the county's top prosecutor, says Ashworth is not prosecuting crimes to the fullest extent of the law. Since winning the seat in 2019, violent crime in Prince William is up 70%, and the number of murders in the county doubled from 2021 to 2022 to 20 murders.
