Supervisor Victor Angry To Lead Virginia Association of Counties

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Supervisor Victor Angry of Prince William County was elected as the next president of the Virginia Association of Counties, which advocates for the interests of Virginia localities in legislative and regulatory processes.

Angry was named president for the 2025-2026 term during the Virginia Association of Counties' 91st Annual Conference in Bath County. Newly-elected officers started their terms with the organization's annual business meeting on Tuesday.

One of the organization's main responsibilities is advocating for and tracking state legislation in the Virginia General Assembly. Virginia is a Dillon Rule state, which means localities can only use authority granted to them by the Virginia General Assembly.

Angry, a military veteran who was elected as Neabsco District supervisor in 2019, becomes the fourth Virginia Association of Counties president from Prince William County. Other Prince William County presidents of the organization were Joseph B. Johnson (1969), Kathleen K. Seefeldt (1992) and John D. Jenkins (1997). Angry will succeed the last president, James City County Supervisor Ruth Larson.

"I am humbled by this honor to become the next VACo President," Angry said. "I’ve seen the great work of previous VACo Presidents, and I want to continue our momentum of preserving important governing tools like local authority. I look forward to having an active part in the legislative process and helping to support current and future county leaders in serving their constituents and communities better."

Other elected leaders include President-Elect Phil North of Roanoke County, First Vice President Jerry Boothe of Floyd County, Second Vice President Kathy Smith of Fairfax County, Secretary-Treasurer Donald Hart, Jr. of Accomack County and Immediate Past President Ruth Larson of James City County.

Prince William County Supervisor Andrea Bailey (D-Potomac) was chosen for the Virginia Association of Counties Board of Directors, which represents 13 regions of the state. Bailey represents Region 8 along with Fairfax County Supervisors Andres Jimenez and Jeffrey McKay.
