Democratic candidate Raheel Sheikh has lived in the Coles District of Prince William County for 16 years with his wife, Aeshah, and three children, all of whom attended the county’s public schools their entire lives. He is a business owner, president of his neighborhood homeowner’s association, and serves on various boards and organizations, including the Virginia Workforce Development Board and Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement (VOICE). He’s also a parent volunteer for the Prince William County Schools Robotics team.
Sheikh is running on a pro-immigrant, pro-business, transportation, and education platform. Sheikh arrived in the U.S. from Pakistan at the age of 22. He worked different jobs until he became a small business owner, running a chain of auto and tire stores. As a Supervisor, he wants to support business growth and increase the business tax base. Sheikh also advocates for more counselors in the public school system and increased funding for vocational training.
Sheikh is endorsed by our partners CASA In Action, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the Brotherhood of Carpenters’ Union, Emgage Action, and the Prince William African American Democratic Club.
His opponent, Republican Yesli Vega, is a mother and a former police officer. One of her top priorities is cutting down on crime and boosting the number of police officers in the county. She’s against a person’s right to decide when and whether to start a family. Vega also opposes gun violence prevention measures like the proposal to ban loaded shotguns and rifles on public highways in the country.Because of Sheikh's endorsements and his pro-immigrant position, he is the progressive choice for the Coles District Supervisor.
