In 2019 Andrea won her election in the Potomac Magisterial District with 64% of the vote, becoming one of the first African American female County Supervisors ever elected to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. For the past three years, Supervisor Bailey has fought for her constituents by prioritizing housing accessibility, public health, transportation, and economic investment.
At a time when affordable housing is needed now more than ever in our County, she ensured the updated Prince William County Comprehensive Plan prioritized affordable and workforce housing.
She made our government fight for our workers by passing Prince William County’s first Collective Bargaining Ordinance and continuing to address our transportation needs by securing $90 million for the Potomac District for transportation projects.
Mental health is an issue that needs to be addressed. That’s why she secured $11.9 million to build Prince William County’s first Crisis Receiving Center for mental health. Supervisor Andrea Bailey has repeatedly shown that she delivers for the Potomac District, resolving 95% of constituent service concerns while actively working to resolve the other 5%.
Supervisor Bailey also ensures Prince William County is included in regional decisions and growth. She currently serves as a Board member on the Council of Governments Board (COG), and Chair of its Human Services Policy Committee, the Northern Virginia Regional Council (NVRC), and is an Executive Board member of the Potomac Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC).
