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.

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.
