Estrada is a second generation Puerto Rican who is concerned about how much we are taxed, particularly in Leesburg where city residents are taxed twice, once by the county and again by the town of Leesburg.
In November Estrada will face Democrat and Leesburg Mayor Kristen C. Umstattd. Current Leesburg supervisor Ken Reid said although Umstattd has been a good Mayor on the Board of Supervisors she will vote like a Democrat so we must elect Will Estrada to keep our taxes low and to fulfill the priorities of a Republican board of supervisor.

For Immediate Release
Today, Leesburg resident Will Estrada announced his intention to run as a Republican for the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors from the Leesburg district.
“I am running to ensure that our schools remain world-class. Our son will be school age in two years. This is personal for me. And at the same time, we need a supervisor who will fight to lower taxes, and who will fight to ensure that Leesburg gets its fair share of transportation funding,” said Estrada. “I am excited to be running to serve the citizens of Leesburg. My wife and I are raising our family here. My grandfather was born in Puerto Rico. He moved to New York City in the early 1950s where my dad was born. I’ve been blessed to live the American dream.”

Shame we have so many anti religion, anti homeschooling people in this country. Home schooling saves money for the taxpayer, if you didn’t know
Just what Loudoun needs — a home schooler and Christian Evangelical (from Cornerstone, no less) with political influence.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or genuine.
Will is brilliant, and a man of true Christian character. He will be an excellent conservative voice on the Board.
Indeed he will! I am so happy he decided to run!
How come Loudoun always comes through with good candidates and nominees while Fairfax and the rest of Northern Virginia GOP puts their heads in the sand?
So true I have asked myself the same question what is the difference, is it local party process, local party encouragement, a larger pool of candidates willing to engage? I’ve often wondered if it might even be the more transitory nature of Fairfax’s greater population compared to Loudoun, which might be compared more to the western Virginia counties further removed from the I-495 metro corridor or perhaps Fairfax’s heavier federal worker resident profile plays some role. Regardless something here stands out as different between the two adjacent locales.
Or they just lost their mojo. A political party is dynamic, and SHOULD be in step with their constituencies — I could even understand fluffy, fuzzy, RINO’s (if that truly was in step with Fairfax,) But there were GREAT CD candidates last time around, that lost, but you don’t build (nor lose) the party overnight. I think the demographics changed, it was no longer the same walk in the park they inherited, so they threw in the towel, some wallowing in party games, some put on Tea Party beads and braids to dance among the flowers, and Fairfax nods, pretending to be relevant in at least the RPV and GOP.
