Woodbridge, VA – U.S. Senator and former Governor Mark Warner, U.S. Senator Jim Webb, former Governor Tim Kaine, and Congressman Gerry Connolly announced their endorsements of Woodbridge Supervisor Frank Principi for re-election, citing Supervisor Principi’s strong leadership and real results on addressing traffic congestion and other pressing issues affecting Woodbridge.
Woodbridge, VA – The Prince William News & Messenger reported today that Woodbridge District Supervisor Candidate Chris Royse has failed to file a campaign finance report for the month of October. This state mandated report covers October 1st through October 26th and was due on Monday October 31st. The initial campaign finance violation occurred in September, when his campaign filed a report four days after the deadline.
Even though the Department of Defense’s (DoD) own website says AFRICOM is staying put in Germany, Woodbridge Supervisor Candidate Chris Royse continues to mislead voters by falsely suggesting that the Military command is moving to Woodbridge.
Even after Royse was confronted about the DoD website and a letter from AFRICOM refuting his claim, Royse continued to spread this falsehood at an October 26th Newport Homes Home Owners Association Forum where he continued to mislead voters into believing that US Africa Command (AFRICOM) is moving to Woodbridge.
During Royse’s opening remarks, he once again made the false and misleading claim that AFRICOM was “Moving from Stuttgart to the United States.” AFRICOM’s own website tells a different story, stating, “The command has no plans to move its headquarters fromStuttgart and will be located here for the foreseeable future.”
At the same event Royse claimed he had been working on this issue since January, even though an official letter from AFRICOM confirms there has been no contact between AFRICOM and Chris Royse.
Chris Royse continues to mislead the voters of Woodbridge, even after his claims of working with AFRICOM to move their headquarters to Woodbridge have been proven false by the Combatant Command itself.
WOODBRIDGE, VA – An official with the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) has confirmed that candidate Chris Royse is misleading Woodbridge voters when he claims that he is working with AFRICOM to relocate its Stuttgart, Germany Headquarters to Woodbridge, Virginia.
