Mark Warner served as governor of Virginia from 2002 until January 2006. His administration inherited $6 billion in budget shortfalls, and ended with a surplus that allowed the largest single investment in K-12 education in Virginia history, a reinvestment in one of the nation’s premier public college and university systems, and a record investment in cleanup of the nation’s largest estuary: the Chesapeake Bay.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British. Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton's army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.

John Jenkins has served as the Neabsco District Supervisor since October 1982 when he was appointed by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to fill the unexpired term of the late James J. McCoart who resigned for health reasons. Since that time he has been elected to six additional terms of office. He is the most senior member of the Board of County Supervisors in length of service (and past Vice Chairman for two terms).

Gerry Connolly and Cathy, his wife of more than 30 years, live in Mantua and have been residents of Fairfax County since 1979. They have a teenage daughter, Caitlin Rose.

Gerry was elected Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on November 4, 2003. Prior to that, he served nine years as the Providence District Supervisor. As Chairman of the ten-member Board, Gerry oversees a budget of $4.5 billion and a county that, based on size, would make it the nation's 13th largest city, 12th largest school district, and 6th largest office market. He serves as the Chairman of the County's Legislative Committee, and is Vice-Chair of the Economic Advisory Committee. Gerry is a member, and past chairman, of the Board of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC), incoming chairman of the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC), and member of the Board of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) where he is past Chairman and has served as a key member of the region's Emergency Preparedness Taskforce. Gerry represents Fairfax County on the Board of the Virginia Association of Counties (VaCo) where he serves as past president. He is on the Board of Directors for the Executive Committee of the Foundation for Virginia, an entity that seeks to educate the public and policy makers about unmet funding needs in core government services.

Gerry also serves on the Boards of Directors for the following groups: Fairfax Partnership for Youth, the American Red Cross of the National Capital Area, the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Washington Initiative Board of Trustees, the Medical Care for Children Partnership, the Institute for Regional Excellence, and the University of Virginia - Virginia Institute of Government.
