Late last month, a post on pwperspective.com, a website that features political news from Prince William County and touts itself as "Virginia's anti-racist voice," posted a hit piece about Manassas City Councilwoman Lynn Forkell Greene, whose running for re-election on November 8.

Light on details, the post accurately reported someone filed a grievance against Forkell Greene while she was still on the city's Parks and Recreation Committee before she was elected to the City Council in November 2021. The author, and website founder John Reid, didn't bother to report on the nature of the grievance, who filed it, or whatever came of it.

A Prince William County resident told Potomac Local News she received a text message urging her to vote at her polling location. However, the message listed an early voting location, not her regular precinct. 

She reported the text message to the Prince William County Office of Elections, worried that others might have received the text message and will go to the wrong polling location on Election Day.

The text from Black Voters Matter states, "...reaching out to make sure you have what you need to vote...public records suggest you may not have voted yet..."

The 7th Congressional District in Virginia is one of the most competitive races that could help determine who controls the House after the 2022 midterm elections. The battle between Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep.

Vega greets a campaign supporter.

President Donald Trump gave an unsolicited endorsement to Yesli Vega, prompting now a response from her campaign.

Trump urged voters to elect Vega, a Republican from the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, to Virginia's 7th Congressional District. Trump posted the endorsement onto his Truth social media platform and called her a "strong Republican voice against violent crime and all other things destroying our nation. He also wrote, "Vega is a warrior for America First," and tied to Spanberger to voting to support President Biden's agenda 100% of the time, despite campaigning as a moderate.
