I'm honored to have earned the following endorsements in my campaign for Commonwealth's Attorney, and I look forward to working together to bring real change to Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park.
The Washington Post
" We believe Amy Ashworth, whom we endorsed in the Democratic primary, is best suited to bring needed changes to the office. While her Republican opponent Mike May, a former member of the Board of County Supervisors, usefully identified problems in the office in his run four years ago, Ms. Ashworth is better poised to undertake reform. Her 23 years as a practicing lawyer in Prince William, both as a prosecutor and defense attorney, give her perspective on the challenges facing the county. Among her priorities are tackling domestic violence, diversifying the office and looking at new strategies to keep juvenile offenders from reoffending."
Former Governor Terry McAuliffe
"Amy Ashworth has my support for Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney because she is dedicated to keeping Prince William County citizens safe while delivering criminal justice reform in Virginia’s second largest jurisdiction. Amy is committed to continuing the restoration of voting rights for folks who have served their time. I look forward to helping get Amy elected so she can bring change to an office that hasn’t seen change in over 50 years. Game on."
Senator Tim Kaine
"I'm proud to endorse Amy Ashworth for Commonwealth's Attorney in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. Amy has practiced law in the area for more than 20 years, including over a decade as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney. As the second-largest jurisdiction in Virginia, Prince William County needs a Commonwealth's Attorney who will deliver experience and compassion to its criminal justice system, and I am confident that Amy is the best one for the job."
Senator Mark Warner
