Johnson and Egan will work hard for Stafford County

October 25, 2009 12:37 am

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.
