Storck Elected Supervisor of Mount Vernon District

Dan Storck won the County Supervisor race Tuesday, with 11,714 votes or 56.85 percent of the vote to challenger Jane Gandee’s 8,841 votes or 42.91 percent of the vote.

Storck released an announcement Tuesday night:

“I am humbled and honored to be elected the next Mount Vernon Supervisor of Fairfax County. I have been privileged to serve this community for the past 12 years as a member of the School Board and I’m invigorated by the potential ahead: revitalizing the Route 1 corridor, increasing economic opportunities throughout the district, fighting to extend Metro’s Yellow Line, empowering seniors, standing up to predatory lenders, and so much more.”

“I congratulate Jane Gandee on a hard-fought campaign and hope to use the following months to bring our community together. Lastly, I want to thank my wife Deb, my family, and all the voters who checked the box on the ballot next to my name. It’s truly an honor.”

Storck takes the seat held by longtime Supervisor Gerry Hyland who was in the office for nearly 30 years. Storck has represented the area on the county school board.
