Economic
Recovery
We must look at making the right kind of investments that make sense for our vision and for the steady growth of Frederick County.
Supervisor Accountability
We need Supervisors who will publicly offer and advance ideas to improve our lives, not hold secret meetings to discuss official business.
My Vision
I’m Richard Kennedy, and I’m running for Frederick County Board of Supervisors, Shawnee District
My vision for Frederick County is a community where every person has a voice in the planning for our future.
For too long we have had no vision nor future guidance from our current Supervisors that has inspired our dreams in how you and I can make this a better community. We live in one of the most desirable and growing counties in Virginia, with its’ aesthetic beauty of the Shenandoah Valley, the temperate climate, and rural hospitality. Your ideas and energy can transform us with the right leadership.
My campaign is focusing how we make that transformation without hidden agendas, with inspiring educators, and with a focus on the future through business growth supported by a strong infrastructure (housing, transportation, broadband).
