Stevens Miller

"With a Loudoun County sweep of the 13th, 32nd, 33rd, 67th and 86th districts, we have demonstrated the vitality of the Republican movement here in Loudoun County and its voters' repudiation of reprehensible tactics utilized by several of these candidates," said Loudoun County Republican Committee Chairman Glen Caroline in a statement.

Leading the change against Mindy Williams representing Loudoun’s Chamber of Commerce on the Loudoun Health Council was Supervisor Stevens Miller (D-Dulles), who is challenging Del. Tom Rust for the 86th District seat in the House of Delegates.

In commercials and at candidate forums, Miller has repeatedly attacked Rust for not doing more to save autism coverage legislation that failed in the General Assembly session this year.

The land was formerly owned by controversial developer Greenvest, which wanted to build about 15,000 homes on the land. However, after supervisors rejected its plans several years ago, the company was unable to maintain its $130 million loan, and the land went into foreclosure. In August, a company called iStar Financial bought the land in auction for $69 million. The company has not yet revealed its plans for the property.

“When he had an opportunity to fight for the bill, he voted no,” said Democrat Stevens Miller, casting a political boulder toward Republican Del. Tom Rust (86th) at a debate in Sterling Park Oct. 13.

 These aren't the first, and this being Loudoun, we can be assured they won't be the last - although one can hope!

The Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce 2009 PolicyMaker Series continued on the morning of Oct. 1 with a candidates’ forum held at the National Conference Center at Lansdowne, giving the contenders in each race the chance to define theirr positions and answer questions.

Even so, he encountered two very separate groups on Wednesday, Sept. 16, as a mini-tea party protest sprung up across the street.

Having stationed themselves at the corner of Herndon’s Elden and Spring Streets, a group of five to 10 protesters eagerly awaited the arrival of Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, one of the high ranking Democrats who came out to support Miller.

Supervisors met in what is known as executive session for most of their last business meeting, privately discussing, among other things, candidates for Loudoun’s vacant county administrator job.

Former longtime county administrator, Kirby Bowers, left the position in April after 31 years of service. For much of this summer, the board has been holding private meetings to evaluate potential replacements.
