Due to Corey’s hard work Prince William County is ranked the #1 locality in job growth in Virginia and #3 in the nation.

Due to Corey’s hard work Prince William County is ranked the #1 locality in job growth in Virginia and #3 in the nation.
Their families can thrive in safety and security. Corey has implemented the nation’s toughest crackdown on illegal immigration, resulting in the county turning over more than 8,000 criminal illegal aliens to U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to a 48.7% drop in violent crime, protecting the number one victims of illegal alien gang crime, the Latino community.
Corey has a strong record defending life, protecting our Second Amendment, and supporting conservative solutions have improved countless lives in Prince William County.

That’s why we stand proudly with Corey and endorse his candidacy,” said RNHA-VA Chairwoman Jo-Ann Chase.
