Rep. Jennifer Wexton, D-Leesburg, has been diagnosed with a severe form of Parkinson’s disease and will not seek reelection to the seat she has held since 2019.
Retired Army officer Alex Isaac announced a bid Jan. 10 for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, becoming the fourth Republican to join the race for the open seat.
Rep. Jennifer Wexton, D-Leesburg, has been diagnosed with a severe form of Parkinson’s disease and will not seek reelection to the seat she has held since 2019.
In Lucketts, Issac is known for championing the location of the Lucketts bypass around a trailer park, a wildlife preserve, and through land owned by speculators—instead of on the eastern side, at near the very back of a few 3-acre lots in his housing development, with McMansions perched at the front. His little group took out full-page ads titled "Save Lucketts!" when the whole point is to erase and redevelop Lucketts--as former Supervisor Geary Higgins accidentally let slip. One of his HOA friends claimed to the BOS that an eastern bypass would expose Lucketts Elementary School students to dangerous emissions from the highway (which now is in front of the school), when the eastern route would actually move the highway further from the school--and allow parents easier and safer access. He ignored outreach efforts from other local residents on the issue. If that's your idea of a guy who would make a good Congressman, run with it!
