Today, on Veterans Day, we at Potomac Local News extend our heartfelt gratitude to the veterans of Virginia. We deeply appreciate your service and sacrifices for our country and honor your dedication.
Virginia is home to a vibrant community of over 680,000 veterans, representing 11% of the state’s adult population. Veterans in our state have contributed greatly to our economy and communities, with many involved in vital roles across various industries. Approximately 70% of Virginia veterans are employed, and many leverage the state’s educational and vocational resources to build civilian careers.
In addition, nearly 90% of Virginia’s veterans are enrolled in VA health care, ensuring they have access to the medical and mental health services they deserve. The state’s commitment to veterans includes various support services such as job training programs and housing assistance.
Today, we reflect on the courage and resilience you have shown in service and building strong futures here at home. Thank you for everything you do, and know that Virginia is committed to supporting you just as you have supported us.
Happy Veterans Day!

We’re out here daily, covering the stories that matter to you and our region, including the recent election and its impact across Prince William County, Stafford, Manassas, Manassas Park, and Fredericksburg. It’s a fascinating time for local politics, and the election results show a shift in how our communities are engaging politically. Republicans made gains in areas that have been reliably Democratic, and there are implications as we head into a gubernatorial race next year.
In Prince William County, Kamala Harris lost nearly 7% of the votes Joe Biden won in 2020, which is a big deal in the state’s second-most-populated jurisdiction. In 2020, Biden won neighboring Stafford County by 2,600 votes, while Harris won in 2024 by just 275.
Understanding these changes isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about how these shifts will shape the future of our neighborhoods, schools, and local economies. We’re digging deep to ask what these results mean for our communities, what Democrats need to do to regain lost ground, and how Republicans plan to sustain momentum. These are stories you won’t find anywhere else, reported by people who know our area and care about its future.
