Kenny Boddye began his first term on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors in January 2020, representing the Occoquan District. More than a decade ago, he relocated from California to pursue his passion for changing the world through better governance, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Georgetown University.
Since taking office, key policy achievements include setting the County’s first-ever climate resiliency goals and spearheading the creation of an Office of Sustainability. Boddye has also been instrumental in commissioning a Maritime Business Study to uplift businesses along the County’s waterways. He has been a strong advocate for updating the County’s data center policies—increasing the tax rate on these corporate giants, recommending their removal from the County’s Targeted Industry list, and calling for stricter guidelines on where and how new data centers are constructed and located.
In the realm of public safety, Supervisor Boddye has fought to expand the Police Department’s Co-Responder program, secured historic salary increases for police and firefighters and supported the new initiative to reduce panhandling. He has also made significant strides in improving mental health resources, supporting the opening of the County’s first Child Advocacy Center and a Crisis Receiving Center to offer comprehensive resources for residents in crisis.
Kenny is also committed to put quality housing in reach of more of our residents through efforts such as the newly established Housing Trust Fund and Affordable Dwelling Unit Ordinance, while shoring up supportive infrastructure such as roads, transit, and schools. Additionally, under his leadership, the Occoquan Greenway has made significant progress, aligning with his commitment to connecting neighborhoods through enhanced bike and pedestrian mobility. A strong advocate for education, Kenny has secured significant investments for our schools year after year.
Kenny also ensures that the people of Prince William have a voice in regional, state, and federal decisions. Through his leadership in PRTC/OmniRide, the Northern Virginia Regional Commission, and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, Kenny collaborates with other DMV officials to develop solutions for critical issues that transcend jurisdictional lines, including protecting the Chesapeake Bay, improving air quality, enhancing mobility, and expanding economic opportunities.
Kenny lives in Lake Ridge with his wife and children, who you’ll often see with him at events. The Boddyes embrace community engagement as a family affair.
