"Ahead of Tuesday’s vote, more than 50 community leaders and residents from across the county called on the board and STACK to defer action or deny the rezoning application – and any others – until the Gainesville District has a representative on the board."
"Stewart, a Navy veteran and Dominion Valley resident, discussed the ongoing debate over data centers, including the controversial Prince William Digital Gateway project, property taxes, the county’s school revenue-sharing agreement, and the need to grow the commercial tax base. He also explained how his approach to schools and taxes differs from his Republican opponent."
"In a campaign video released on his website, Stewart outlined four key areas of policy focus: stopping the “unchecked” spread of data centers and protecting the environment and neighborhoods; smart, sustainable growth with strong local infrastructure; attainable housing; and safer communities, including expanded mental health services and youth programs."
"Stewart, 57, is pledging to vote against the Digital Gateway if it returns to the board for a second vote and says he’ll refuse campaign contributions from data center interests. “Not one penny,” Stewart said. “Not all money is good money.”"
"A Navy veteran and financial consultant and community advocate, is running as a Democrat in the Gainesville District supervisor race. According to his campaign announcement, Stewart's decision to run is due to "concerns over the unchecked spread of data centers across western Prince William County."
