The elections this year in Prince William County are Federal elections. We will vote for our member in the House of Representatives and one of the two senators who represents our state in the Senate. First we will nominate the candidates. Then will have a General Election in November 2020.

This post focuses on the nomination races for the House of Representatives.  Two of the candidates running in the Republican Party’s nomination contest for the 10th Congressional District have responded to our questionnaire. Here is the Congressional survey transmittal letter 2020. See below for the responses. We thank these candidates for their responses and their willingness to frankly make their positions on these issues known to the electorate.

Note that there are three Congressional Districts that intersect the borders of Prince William County, the 1st, the 10th, and the 11th.
