Bierman announced in December that he was running for the Dranesville District seat, after Foust told his fellow supervisors last August that he would not be running in 2023.

“Supervisor John Foust’s leadership has shaped our county for the better, and I am deeply honored to have his endorsement," Bierman said. "John is a pillar in our community who never stops working for us. As Dranesville’s next supervisor, I am committed to fighting to protect our progress while expanding opportunities for all."

Bierman has already received the endorsement of U.S. Reps. Gerry Connolly (D-11th) and Don Beyer (D-8th).

No other candidate from either party has come forward yet to challenge Bierman in either the May 20 Democratic Party Primary or the general election in November.
