Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger on Friday announced the selection of her “United for Virginia’s Future” transition committee, and it includes several Fredericksburg-area leaders.

They are:

  • Businesswoman and Fredericksburg City Councilwoman-elect Joy Crump;
  • Spotsylvania Supervisor Deborah Frazier, who is also chief academic officer for the county’s schools;
  • Xavier Richardson, senior vice president & chief development officer for Mary Washington Healthcare;
  • Ernisha Hall, president and CEO of the Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce; and
  • Baron Braswell, former Spotsylvania School Board member

Democratic Del. Candi Mundon King, who represents part of Stafford County, had already been announced as an honorary co-chair of the committee.

“These Virginians not only bring together deep ties from across every region of our Commonwealth, but the experience, integrity and know-how required to deliver the pragmatic and principled leadership that Virginians overwhelmingly voted for this November,” Spanberger said in a prepared statement announcing the committee members.

Note: Xavier Richardson serves on the Fredericksburg Free Press’ Board of Directors.
