A third candidate has thrown his hat in the ring for Lee District Supervisor.
Joining Rodney Lusk and Larysa Kautz in the campaign is Lee District Planning Commissioner James Migliaccio, who has worked alongside current Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay for several years. McKay is leaving his seat and running for the top office in Fairfax County.
Migliaccio wrote in a campaign announcement, "As your Supervisor, I will work to protect and improve the quality of life in Fairfax County by creating better transit options, keeping our schools world class, protecting our natural resources and working to ensure affordable housing needs are met."

Two residents have announced they are running for Lee District Supervisor, hoping to occupy the seat currently held by Jeff McKay on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.
Longtime Fairfax County employee and civic activist Rodney Lusk announced he is running for Lee District Supervisor. Lusk joins Groveton resident Larysa Kautz in campaigning for McKay’s seat. Kautz serves as chief of staff for the non-profit organization Melwood.
Lusk, a Democrat, is looking to fill the seat currently held by Jeff McKay, who announced in December that he is running to be chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
In his campaign announcement, Lusk said he was running “to be the representative for all our residents,” adding that he wants to work to ensure all community members have “equal access to affordable housing, employment, healthcare, education, and quality of life.”
In her announcement, Kautz said, “I understand the challenges our district and our county face from multiple angles and am very interested in listening so that I can make the best possible decisions for our great community."
Lee District is almost 30 sq. miles of land south of I-495 (see map below). Key issues in this region include Richmond Highway development, affordable housing, transportation and the needs of working families.
