Stafford County Government: “Congresswoman Spanberger is holding office hours at the Gov. Center next week on Tues., Dec. 12, from 10 am to noon. Come get help with things like veterans affairs, Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and more.”
The Democrat announced she will run in 2025 to become Virginia’s next governor, aiming to replace Glenn Youngkin, who cannot run for reelection, per state law. Virginia is the only state in the U.S. that prevents its governor from running for a second term.
Spanberger will not seek reelection to Congress, where she’s served since 2018. Spanberger represents the 7th Congressional District, which includes Stafford County and eastern Prince William County.

Travel to French soil and join us for a night filled with two of the most beloved French traditions—no plane ticket required! ?
On January 25th, we invite you to experience the magic of Galette des Rois, a 700-year-old tradition celebrated across France throughout the entire month of January (and even beyond!). This sweet, almond-filled puff pastry topped with a golden crown isn’t just a treat—it’s a celebration! The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??
But that’s not all! In France, Les Voeux (New Year’s wishes) continue throughout January, often accompanied by Champagne and good cheer. We’re bringing that festive spirit to you, with a lively evening packed with French food, wine, and music.
