Tuesday's primaries represent the first round in a year of pivotal elections in Prince William County. Topping the ballot are party races for sheriff and chairman of the Board of County Supervisors, while three other board seats, including two hotly contested races in the Occoquan District, are also on the ballot. County Board Chairman Primary Seen as a Test Of Confidence in Sheriff Sheriff E. Lee Stoffregen III will face the first Democratic primary of his career Tuesday, and both he and opponent John H. Collier are telling people almost exactly the same thing: The early polling simply will be a vote that tests the public's confidence in Stoffregen's tenure. County Sheriff Rural Crescent Pledge Pushed With just a handful of days left before Tuesday's primary elections, several slow-growth groups are trying to keep their agenda in the spotlight by asking that candidates running for the Board of County Supervisors sign a pledge opposing any change to Prince William's Rural Crescent.Last week, representatives from Advocates for the Rural Crescent, Voters to Stop Sprawl Prince William and the Rural Preservation Alliance asked that office-seekers prove their commitment to the county's 1998 Comprehensive Plan, which created the Rural Crescent, an 80,000-acre swath of protected land that stretches from Quantico Marine Corps Base to Fauquier and Loudoun counties.
