Supervisor May Kicks Off Reelection Campaign in Occoquan

On July 17, Supervisor Mike May officially announced his campaign for reelection as the Occoquan District County Supervisor at a kickoff at the Occoquan Town Hall.

"We've had a great four years," May said. "But there's a lot more work to be done. It's all about protecting our quality of life and making your county government more accessible to you."

May pointed to low taxes, low crime rates and better pedestrian access as the some of the results of his work with the other county supervisors.

"We've kept an open door with the constituents and done what we could to keep you involved and engaged," he said.

May is running unopposed.

"Some people have asked me today, and in the past, 'Why would you have a campaign kickoff if you don't have an opponent?' That's a good question," he said. "The answer is not just because I want to make my staff work, but also because our campaign has never been about the other guy or gal who's running. It's always been about reaching out to the citizens of the Occoquan District and putting forward our positive vision of the things that we want to do. This campaign will be no different. We're going to knock on all the doors, talk to everyone."

May gave a nod to other elected officials in the room.

"Being in public service is a sacrifice, but it's a sacrifice that we all choose to make because we want to make our community a better place," he said.
