Jack Tiwari Launches Campaign for Gainesville District Supervisor

With an appeal to neighbors and local families, longtime community advocate Jack Tiwari is officially stepping into the race for the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, seeking the Democratic nomination to represent the Gainesville District.

In a message shared on his official campaign page, Tiwari laid out a platform centered on “Responsible Growth and Fiscal Responsibility,” signaling a clear break from development-first policies that have frustrated many local residents in recent years.

No to Data Centers, No to Tax Hikes

Tiwari didn’t mince words about his position on two of the county’s hottest-button issues: data center expansion and rising taxes. He vowed not to support any new data centers in residential areas and promised to oppose any tax increase during his first term in office.

His campaign, as outlined, is rooted in practical ideals: protecting quality of life, preserving infrastructure integrity, and using public funds wisely. But Tiwari’s ambitions reach beyond fiscal prudence. He envisions a community that invests in open spaces, education, and forward-thinking transportation solutions.

Schools, Parks, and Local Businesses in Focus

Education and livability are at the heart of Tiwari’s vision. He expressed strong support for teachers and students, calling for more resources in public schools to help them “thrive.” Additionally, he advocated for more parks, community gardens, campsites, and broader public access to green spaces.

Perhaps one of the more notable pieces of his platform is a proposal to explore an Orange Line Metro extension to the Manassas-Gainesville-Haymarket corridor — a move that would require collaboration across jurisdictions but could drastically reshape commuter access and local development patterns.

A Local Voice, Not a Political Insider

Tiwari emphasized that he’s not backed by special interests — a message likely aimed at distinguishing himself from establishment candidates. He promised to be accessible, transparent, and “laser-focused” on what matters most to Gainesville families: reducing traffic congestion, ensuring public safety, and growing small businesses.

“Your agenda is my agenda,” he told voters, reinforcing a theme of grassroots service over partisan ambition.

Important Caucus Details

The Democratic caucus to select a nominee for the Gainesville District seat will be held on Sunday, August 10, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The event location has yet to be finalized, but Tiwari’s campaign said updates will be shared directly with supporters.
