Johnson and Egan will work hard for Stafford County

Johnson and Egan will work hard for Stafford County

The Aquia District is lucky to have two women running for elected positions with the only desire being one of improving Stafford County.

Both believe that improving schools should be a priority. Watching our schools go from being one of the top systems in the state to having over half of our schools not meet AYP is quite a slide.

Stephanie Johnson is running for the School Board. She has worked in our schools and has helped raise money as a board member on the Stafford Education Foundation. Her opponent has done none of these.

Irene Egan is running for the Board of Supervisors. She sees the schools as one of the most critical areas in need of attention, along with fire and rescue and the Sheriff's Office. She will ensure that our quality of life is addressed, along with returning civility and respect to the conduct of the sitting supervisors.

Both women are smart, hardworking, and informed. Please vote for for Stephanie Johnson and Irene Egan.

Schools saved and returned $17M (posted by DeanFetterolf , Oct. 25, 2009 7:33 pm)   
Please check your facts in regards to "their entire excessive spending agenda" Schools saved and returned $17M over the last 5 years to the BOS. Despite this the BOS outspent revenue in 6 of last 9 years.

stay out of this. You didnt do anything for us in Aquia while you were on the board except talk alot. Just go away quietly. What a great endorsement from a supervisor who ran nothing but a negative race against Mr Milde, and still spends mos of your awake hours bad mouthing him. We want some brains and accountability on the School Board this time from Aquia- thats why Jon Myers is the only logical choice. WIll sure beat the NON job Ledux has done for 4 years.

My wife and I saw Ms. Johnson at a recent (posted by briefcaseman , Oct. 25, 2009 7:06 am)   
NAACP Forum. I am sure school division personnel are chomping at the bit to get her in office as she appeared to parrot their entire excessive spending agenda. Quite contrary to her opponent in Falmouth who was more realistic and pledged to look at all our duplicate programs and cut waste at the central office. I guess Ms. Johnson wants to contine to fund failing wasteful programs and not cut a single central office job. Let's keep everyone on the dole at the expense of our kids & terachers? No thanks.
