Woodbridge Residents Stand Up In Support of Frank Principi
Woodbridge Supervisor Frank Principi, an expert crisis situation manager, is up for re-election. Few know he was instrumental in Sumatra’s recovery efforts after its tsunami devastation. When under pressure to close, the Greater PW Community Health Center asked Mr. Principi for help. The adverse impacts of closure were avoided by his turnaround business plan that saved, modernized and expanded the clinic. It now serves more than 18,000 clients a year.

I’m tired of sitting in Woodbridge traffic, Monday through Sunday. How about you?
I recently heard Frank J. Principi, County Supervisor speak about his efforts and vision for a “New Woodbridge.” Frank’s untiring commitment for better transportation options, widening Route 1, and quality neighborhoods through smart growth of planned communities is sure to create more local jobs, that will surely reduce the gridlock — a real win-win for Woodbridge.
For these reasons I ask your support of Frank J. Principi on Tuesday, November 8. Together we can make a positive difference.

It is time that candidates stop making empty promises to con the voters. What voters want is transparent government, and elected officials with integrity. I’m supporting Frank J. Principi for Woodbridge District Supervisor because I believe he has demonstrated the energy, vision and focus over the last four years to bring the community together to effectively plan our future. We are now starting to move forward toward realization of these plans. He fights for the residents of Woodbridge. That’s not an empty promise. That’s the reality!

I have been following the upcoming local election with great enthusiasm. As a relatively recent arrival to the Woodbridge area, the number one issue that I’m voting on in this next election is transportation. It seems that the Board of County Supervisors in the past has allowed housing developments to pop up without giving much thought to the additional roads we would need to handle all the new residents. While I understand that development is a good thing for Woodbridge, I am truly sick of this gridlock. As I am sure you all know, a perfect example of gridlock is Route 1. It definitely needs improvement and Woodbridge clearly needs innovative local politicians to help solve our transportation issues. One of the many reasons I am supporting Frank Principi for Supervisor is because he worked to get the funding for road improvements and continually introduces new ideas to solve these transportation issues. I thoroughly appreciate his work and his dedication to the Woodbridge area. It’s clear that we need to make some major changes in Woodbridge, and I think Frank Principi is the man to be our advocate in this fight.

In 1911, A.M. Davis made this statement, ”Actions speak louder than Words, and are more to be regarded.” Frank Principi has done just that and more for the citizens of Woodbridge. As you recall from the last election, he got there by working on the Board of Equalization, the Transportation Committee and as a member of the Board of Directors for Potomac Hospital. For the past four years as our Supervisor, he has continued to bring the community together to make important decisions affecting our community and to elicit feedback on the issues that matter most to the residents of Prince William County.
I admire Frank’s style of leadership; Clear, concise and to the point. He, along with many of us residents, recognize that there needs to be strategic redevelopment in Woodbridge, especially in our road networks and in the area of road improvements. On numerous occasions, Frank Principi has offered several innovative and forward thinking solutions to our transportation issues, especially to the gridlock on Rte 1. Many of which are doable in the short term to alleviate road congestion. I feel that he should continue to push the projects forward and to keep the citizens informed as well.
I recall an old maxim of “What someone does, is more important than what someone says.” The very idea of a major combat command relocating its headquarters from Stuttgart, Germany to Woodbridge, VA is beyond belief. Especially based on the “efforts” and conversations of a local candidate, whose never held an elected office before. As a voter, I am more inclined to vote for with what I have seen accomplished, than what a candidate thinks I want to hear. Therefore, I feel that Frank Principi is a man of integrity.
I’m supporting Frank Principi for reelection as the Woodbridge District Supervisor because I believe he is a “man of his word”, a true visionary with a proven track record of accomplishments, boundless energy and a sustained focus on the plan for our future. The results are coming to fruition on a daily basis. Join me on Tuesday, November 8th and reelect Frank Principi.

Principi is the best choice for Supervisor
As we prepare to vote next week, I hope that everyone researches the candidates and looks for their involvement representing the people in their community. I have known Frank Principi for over 9 years when we served together on our school PTO committee. He always offered fresh ideas and great solutions and was always available to help with whatever needed done.
I admire Frank’s style of leadership. He came to be Supervisor by working in the Woodbridge community on the Board of Equalization, the Transportation Committee, and the Board of Directors for Potomac Hospital. He is committed to public service and to improving the lives of Woodbridge citizens. He was Chairman of the Future Commission 2030, where he listened to the views of Prince William residents and created a vision for our future based on what he heard from the community. For the past four years as Supervisor, he has continued to bring the community together to make decisions and get feedback on the issues that matter. I believe true leadership is the ability to listen closely, bring all the major players together, continue to push forward, and to keep the citizen’s informed.
Frank Principi has done just that, and I urge you to support him this Tuesday, November 8th for Woodbridge District Supervisor.

I encourage Woodbridge residents to join me on November 8, 2011 in voting for Frank J. Principi for Supervisor. I am impressed with his efforts to work with residences and businesses to create a vision for a New Woodbridge. As soon as he took office, he began to address redevelopment and revitalization of the Route 1 corridor. He held a three-day Charrette that brought state, local and federal experts together with local residents and stakeholders to create a revitalization plan which will attract new businesses to the area and create jobs. Since then he has shown leadership in his efforts to implement the plan. In addition he has spearheaded efforts to bring commuter ferry service to Woodbridge in order to address transportation issues.
As an Independent voter, I look closely at the qualifications of each candidate. I believe Frank has a proven record of accomplishments as a supervisor. We need another four years of his continued leadership as the Woodbridge Supervisor.
