Pamela Yeung, the current representative of the Garrisonville District on the Stafford County School Board, is running to represent the district on the board of supervisors. She attended Johns Hopkins University for graduate school and is currently enrolled in a doctoral program for leadership and organizational change at Baylor University. She works as a technology and healthcare consultant and has served on the school board since 2017. She raised four children, all of whom attended Stafford County public schools.
One of Yeung’s top priorities is improving the county’s infrastructure. She is a strong advocate for accessible transportation, making Stafford County’s transportation system more efficient, and ensuring all growth is eco-friendly and sustainable. As a school board member, Yeung initiated a study to improve the efficiency of school buses to decrease the time students spent in traffic and money spent on transportation costs. She also served on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors' Telecommunications Advisory Committee, which worked to increase broadband Internet in Stafford County, a critical step to ensuring all citizens have access to jobs and educational opportunities.
Yeung is passionate about government transparency and civic involvement. She wants to ensure citizens have access to board meetings and understand the decisions the board is making, including how tax dollars are spent and budgets decided. While on the school board, she ensured teachers and school support staff received raises every single year. Yeung ran for school board because of her enthusiasm for participating in local politics and hopes it inspires others to do the same.
As a school board member, Yeung worked to help the board reflect the diversity of the Stafford community. She worked to have the board implement new policies to increase the number of diverse teachers, social workers, and counselors in public schools. Additionally, she helped reintroduce foreign language classes in schools. In 2020 and 2021, she helped plan and run a Juneteenth event in Stafford in order to help educate the Stafford community about the holiday. If elected to the Board of Supervisors, she would like to see increased investment into recreational and cultural opportunities.
Yeung also upheld and introduced equitable policies in Stafford Public Schools. She successfully advocated for the school board to readdress its relationship with student resource officers (SROs). She worked to build trust between students and SROs as well as implement new policies to allow school resource officers to be reassigned if there are concerns about their behavior. Yeung also supported policies to protect transgender students in Stafford County schools by voting in favor of a school board policy to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of categories protected from discrimination.
Yeung is running against independent candidate Barton “Bart” Randall, a Navy veteran who represents the Garrisonville District on the Stafford County Planning Commission. Randall opposes government efforts to safely reopen our public schools such as mask requirements. He supports policies to make Stafford an attractive destination by introducing new retail and commercial opportunities.
Due to her support for infrastructure, transparency and accountability, public education, and inclusive policies, Pamela Yeung is the most progressive choice in this election.
