Supervisor Rachna Sizemore Heizer

I was honored to join the wonderful volunteers serving meals to guests at St. Matthews United Methodist Church’s hypothermia program. Their kindness and dedication truly brighten the winter season for some of our most vulnerable community members.

Great visit to GMU’s College of Visual & Performing Arts! Met with Dean Rick Davis, saw renovation plans, toured set and costume studios, and learned about their amazing programs in opera, ballet, film & more. Incredible arts right here in our community! 🎨🎭💚

Glad to stop by the Chapel Square Civic Association Winterfest party! Great conversations about Braddock Road, Lake Accotink, our excellent schools, and how lucky we are here in Braddock with our network of trails and streams right in our backyards.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Fairfax County, with rain expected to change over to snow at around 5:00 p.m. Accumulation of 3-5 inches is possible. Heavy snow this evening can create poor driving conditions, use caution and drive only if necessary.

Happy National Love Your Pet Day from all the pets of Team Braddock!

🎂 Yesterday, while attending the Board’s Legislative Reception in Richmond, I was surprised with a birthday cake! It was such a thoughtful gesture on an evening filled with meaningful conversations with our Fairfax Delegation. I’m so proud of what we’re accomplishing together!

Sewage Spill in the Potomac River - Newsroom Drinking Water ♦ Shellfish Closures ♦ Recreation On January 19, a sewer line in Montgomery County, Maryland, collapsed, causing an overflow of more than 200 million gallons of wastewater into Potomac ...

Fairfax Water Quality Update:
Fairfax Water customers are not impacted by the recent break of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line. The break occurred downstream of Fairfax Water’s Potomac River intake, which means it does not affect our customers.

For those who celebrate, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal. A reminder of our humanity and the grace that carries us forward. Today invites us to pause, pray, and realign our hearts. May this Lent be a journey of growth, humility, and hope.

Ramadan Mubarak!
Wishing all who observe a month of reflection, compassion, and spiritual renewal. May your days be filled with light and grace. 🌙✨

Thrilled my first official board matter passed unanimously by the Board of Supervisors today! It is a board matter directing staff to create a strategic comms plan about the county's housing initiatives to help inform the public.

Welcome Year of the Horse! This Lunar New Year we extend our sincere wishes for prosperity, good health, and continued success in the year ahead. May this new beginning bring growth, opportunity, and happiness to you and your loved ones!

America has lost a giant. Reverend Jackson was a man whose voice echoed through the streets of America and into the conscience of our nation. Let us honor his legacy as a true American hero, and an example to us all.

Today, we pause to reflect on what true leadership means. It’s not about power, it’s about service. We honor George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and all those who have served. Let’s renew our own commitment to the values that unite us: integrity, compassion, and opportunity for all.

Valentine’s Day is a great reminder: love isn’t just about chocolates and flowers, it’s about how we treat each other every day. Let’s choose kindness, share smiles, and make the world a little warmer together.❤️
