“Esteban Garces has run one of the best grassroots campaigns I have ever seen,” said Principi. “His skill at building coalitions of diverse people is a great indicator of his ability to build consensus in the House of Delegates and deliver the results we need for Prince William County. “

In remarks on House of Delegates candidate Roy Coffey, Frank Principi stated, “When it comes to service for the community, Roy Coffee’s record is second to none.  With over 17 plus years of experience on the Community Services Board, I know he will look out for Prince William County residents first when he serves in the House of Delegates.”

In his endorsement of Dr. Babur Lateef for Chair of the Board of Supervisors, Principi said, “The Prince William County Board of Supervisors needs someone who will look out for the interests of its residents, not special interest groups, as its chair, and Dr. Babur Lateef is that person.  I first met Dr. Lateef through my efforts to find eye care for  the less fortunate in the community, and when I asked for his helped he stepped up to the plate, just like he will for Prince William County as your next Chair of the Board of Supervisors.”

Woodbridge Supervisor Frank Principi said of Gainesville Board of Supervisors candidate Ann Wheeler, “Ann Wheeler has the correct mix of business experience and dedication to the less fortunate in Prince William County that Gainesville needs as it continues to grow, and, unlike her opponent, she has the time to fully dedicate her efforts to the office.” 

With his endorsement of Coles Supervisor Candidate Anthony Arnold, Supervisor Principi said, “I have known Anthony for over 10 years, and his dedication to the community and his family will translate to the type of strong leadership the Coles District desperately needs.  Anthony Arnold will be a strong voice on the Board of County Supervisors for all Prince William County residents, and the voters of the Coles District should choose Arnold in the voting booth on Tuesday.”
