Democrat Penny Gross is originally from Eugene, Oregon. She graduated from the University of Oregon with an undergraduate degree in Political Science in 1965. Gross previously worked for United States Senate and the Democratic National Committee. Gross has been on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors since 1995. She serves on the Board’s Environment Committee, and has served as vice chairman of the Board since 2009.
During her time on the Board, Gross has worked to expand transportation options. Her efforts have reduced traffic congestion and has expanded bus service. She has also secured funding for constructing pedestrian walkways, making the area more walkable. She supports increased funding for Fairfax County Public Schools, which would lead to better benefits and salaries for educators. Gross aided in implementing the Environmental Excellence Plan to reduce Fairfax’s carbon footprint, protect water quality and preserve open space. She also supports the Community wide Housing Strategic Plan, which aims to address the lack of affordable housing in the Fairfax community.
Her opponent, Republican Gary Aiken, is selective in his idea of accessibility and public safety. Aiken is opposed to body cameras for police, but also wants more officers and community policing. Aiken only supports increased affordable housing solutions for first responders and their families.Last updated: 2023-04-05Penny Gross
