Supervisor John Jenkins is combating pneumonia from the intensive care unit at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
The long-serving public official was admitted to the hospital on Friday, sources tell Potomac Local.
Jenkins has been in rehabilitation after suffering complications from knee-replacement surgery on October 31. Jenkins had been staying in a rehab center in Fairfax County before he was admitted to a hospital and has missed the past four Board of Supervisors meetings.
“I hope he gets better soon,” said Corey Stewart, Board Chairman, At-large. “We need him back on the Board quickly.”
“Mr. Jenkins has a competent staff that is taking care of constituent services,” said county spokesman Jason Grant. “Mr. Jenkins has a set of initiatives that he ran on and his staff is making sure that those directives are being brought to the Board.”
First elected in 1982 and now in his seventh consecutive four-year term on the Board of Supervisors, Jenkins is the Board’s longest-serving member.
Jenkins represents the Neabsco District which encompasses the majority of Dale City. The two-tour Vietnam Veteran, who earned the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster in Vietnam, retired from the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel in December 1980.
