Royse Announces Campaign for Woodbridge District Supervisor

"It's a good day to be a Republican," said Chairman of the Board of County Supervisors Corey Stewart in his remarks to endorse Chris Royse for the Woodbridge District Supervisor. 

Royse, flanked by Republican members of the board, his family and Dr. Milton Johns (R), Chairman of the Prince William County School Board, formally announced his campaign Tuesday afternoon before the afternoon board meeting.

This is the second time Royse will be running for the office. He currently serves as the at-large representative of the Prince William County's Safe Schools Advisory Council.

Royse is a 13-year resident of Woodbridge, where he lives with his three children and his wife, Kathy.  

Republicans Maureen Caddigan (R-Potomac), Marty Nohe (R-Coles), John Stirrup (R-Gainesville) and Dr. Johns announced their endorsements and support for Royse. 

Tito Munoz, who is running for the 36th senate district currently held by Toddy Puller, was present at the day's announcement. Cleveland Anderson, running for the 52nd delegate district currently held by Luke Torian (D-52), was also present. 

Royse said he would like to see economic development, revitalization and better transportation for the Woodbridge district. 

Caddigan cited her hope for a better relationship between the Potomac and Woodbridge districts saying that she doesn't have a relationship in the current position.

Incumbent Frank Principi is one of two Democrats on the board; veteran John Jenkins (D-Neabsco) is the other.
