Democrat Don Shaw declared his candidacy Tuesday for the 13th House of Delegates District seat, which voters will decide in November 2015.

The district covers portions of the Brentsville, Coles, Gainesville and Occoquan Magisterial Districts in Prince William County as well as all of the city of Manassas Park.

I look forward to serving the constituents of the 13th House District.”

He is currently an Operations Director for a Small Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) in Alexandria, Virginia. and he holds a Master of Public Administration degree with postgraduate education in Public Policy. Shaw is an American Legion Life Member, PTSA Vice President, and member of the Ruritans.
