On Tuesday, the residents of the 51st District made their choice for the Virginia House of Delegates. When the results were tallied, Del. Paul Nichols was defeated by a slim margin.
Del. Nichols had been a successful businessman and award-winning attorney in Lake Ridge for many years. But once he answered the call to public service, he took to the task of serving his constituents
with the same energy and enthusiasm he had applied to his business and legal careers. He worked hard to improve life for the residents of the 51st District and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Those of us who know Paul Nichols will really miss his presence in Richmond — we know how hard he worked to do the right thing for his constituents, and to make Prince William County and Virginia a
better place in which to work and raise our kids. We know how dedicated he was to the idea of bringing Metro to Woodbridge, and to the preservation of public education, both critical priorities to him.
So thanks, Paul Nichols, for the service you have given us. In the process you maintained your principles and your decency, and we applaud you.
