Braddock is very much a district of Wneighborhoods, a rarity in busy and booming Fairfax. Stretching from Annandale to the Fairfax County Government Center, we are located in the center of Fairfax County.

Fairfax County has an elected Board of Supervisors consisting of nine members elected by district, plus a chairman elected at-large. Board members are elected for four-year terms and establish County government policy, pass resolutions and ordinances, approve the budget, set local tax rates, approve land use plans and make appointments to various positions.

A primary focus of mine as Braddock Supervisor is to make sure that County government is working effectively and efficiently, doing the things it is supposed to do, and acting as a committed facilitator and partner in our communities. Strong communities are ones with strong connections between people.

This guide is designed to provide you with some important information about your County and District. Your local government is here to serve you. Whether you need to know important phone numbers for County services or which school serves your community, we are here to provide you with that information.

Sincerely,

John C. Cook Braddock District Supervisor
