VA: Victor Angry elected Prince William County's first black supervisor.

Victor Angry won Tuesday's special election to fill the Neabsco District supervisor's seat left vacant with the death of John Jenkins, becoming Prince William County's first elected black supervisor.

With all 12 of the polling locations reporting unofficial results, Angry, a Democrat, won 74.61 percent of the total votes cast.

Republican Devinder Singh received 25.33 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results. There was one write-in.

Angry, a retired National Guard command sergeant and Dale City volunteer firefighter, will begin his term later this month and serve until Dec. 31. He said he was exhausted, excited and humbled Tuesday night.

As supervisor, Angry said he wants to focus on building trust with the community and learning about issues that are important to Dale City.

“So I want to hit the ground running on small issues that I can really affect right now,” Angry said.

Angry said he still has two more races ahead of him this year; the Democratic primary on June 11 and if he wins that, the general election in November for Neabsco District Supervisor, which is a four-year term.
