First Ladies Campaigning in Area Today

OCCOQUAN, Va. — Two former Virginia first ladies will tour portions of the Potomac Communities on Thursday, stumping for their husbands who are running for U.S. Senate.

Susan Allen will stop in Falmouth in Stafford County at 10:30 a.m. at the Warrenton Road Park and Ride lot on U.S. 17 where she’ll be joined by Virginia State Senator Bryce Reeves, Delegate Mark Dudenhefer, and Stafford County Board of Supervisors Chairman Susan Stimpson.

The topic of this gathering of Republicans? Rising gas prices, which are averaging $3.88 in North Stafford, $3.97 in Woodbridge, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic’s Fuel Price Finder.

Allen is married to George Allen who was Virginia’s Governor from 1994 to 1998.

Anne Holton is married to Democrat Timothy Kaine, who led the state between 2005 and 2009. She will tour small businesses in Occoquan on Thursday starting at 11 a.m.

Holton is expected to join Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta on a “small business listening tour.”

The tour will begin at Occoqaun Town Hall and is expected to conclude at The Garden Kitchen.
