Republican Wins Seat After Controversy Over Past Tweets by Democratic Candidate
- Republican Jeannie LaCroix won a special election for a Prince William County Board of Supervisors seat, defeating Democrat Muhammed Sufiyan Casim, with LaCroix receiving 43.7% of the vote and Casim 37.0%.
- Casim apologized for his past racist social media posts from over a decade ago, describing his behavior as foolish and not intended to be derogatory, attributing it to immaturity during his youth.
- Democrat Pamela Montgomery entered the race as a write-in candidate shortly before Election Day due to concerns over Casim's past posts, splitting the Democratic vote and contributing to LaCroix's victory.
- Prince William County is a Democratic stronghold, and LaCroix's win marked a rare Republican gain in the Washington metro area during President Trump’s second term amid a split Democratic field and local controversies.
