The Prince William County Democratic Committee would like to congratulate our two members that ran for office yesterday. Both members won their races and continue the trend that residents of Prince William County elect more and more Democrats to represent them.

Earnie Porta won his election to serve a second term has the Mayor of Occoquan. William Toney won his election to serve a term on the Dumfries Town Council.

Congratulations again and we look forward to even more Democrats winning elections this fall!
