"On October 28, 2019, the Honorable Bruce D. Albertson of the Warren County Circuit Court dismissed all charges against me alleging misfeasance and nonfeasance.

Judge Albertson ruled that the charges were not crimes under Virginia law.

These charges should never have been filed against me. I had no supervisory authority over the Executive Director of the Front Royal/Warren County Economic Development Authority. Even though I did not supervise the Executive Director, when questions arose regarding the finances, I recommended retaining the services of a forensic auditor. After months of intensive review, the forensic auditors were able to determine that there were significant improprieties. I then worked with outside legal counsel to file a civil lawsuit to recover the stolen funds.

My integrity is extremely important to me. I would never sanction any type of illegal or improper action.

I am pleased to announce my family is in the process of moving to the area, and I look forward to serving Prince George County Board of Supervisors and the Community."
