Prince William County Republican Committee Press Release: The previously scheduled March 2nd Prince William County Republican Committee Biennial Convention at Osbourn Park High School has been canceled. Chair Jacob Mosser called the Convention to select a new Chair for the Prince William County Republican Committee, as well as to vote on delegates to the 7th and 10th Congressional District Conventions and the State Convention.
Vice Chair Jacob Alderman with no opposition, and with the support of leading local Republicans and the acclamation of the Committee, will become the new Chair. All individuals who filed to attend the conventions were accepted as delegates.
Chair Jacob Mosser declined to run for a full term. He received the heartfelt thanks of the Committee at its February 26 meeting for his service. Jacob Alderman will officially take over as Chair on March 2.
Jacob Alderman, a lifelong resident of Prince William County, has served on the Committee for 10 years. His first leadership role was serving as the executive director of the Prince William Republican Committee from 2016-2019. He was the Chair of the Prince William Young Republican Club and Operations Chairman for the Committee. He has worked on multiple campaigns, advocating for conservative values and promoting strong Republican leadership.
Chair Alderman’s goals will be to recruit strong Conservative leaders to run for office, and to train candidates and volunteers to communicate our values effectively to the community in order to elect more Republicans to local, state, and federal office.

(AP) — Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday and predicted six more weeks of wintry weather, his top-hatted handlers announced to a raucus, record-sized crowd at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania.
Phil was welcomed with chants of “Phil, Phil, Phil,” and pulled from a hatch on his tree stump shortly after sunrise before a member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club read from a scroll in which he boasted: “Only I know — you can’t trust A.I.”
At approximately 2:45 P.M. on Saturday, February 1st, units with Stafford County Fire and Rescue (SCFR) responded to a reported structure fire in the 100 block of Aquia Creek Road, near Aquia Creek. Callers reported a neighboring residence on fire, and first arriving units marked the scene less than 10 minutes later and confirmed fire and smoke coming from the rear and roof of a single-family residence.
Due to a lack of hydrants in the area, crews had to utilize rural water operations to shuttle water to the scene. Crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire and bring it under control in approximately an hour, despite the roof collapsing.
The residence was not occupied at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. The fire is under routine investigation by the Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office. SCFR units were assisted on scene by Quantico Fire and Emergency Services.
