Supervisor Rodney L. Lusk was sworn in as Fairfax County Franconia District Supervisor (formerly Lee District) in January of 2020 and is the first African American male elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Lusk currently serves as Chairman of the Public Safety and Security Committee, Vice-Chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee, a member of the Successful Children and Youth Policy Team, and 1st Vice Chair for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.

His accomplishments during this time include delivering human services along the Historic Richmond Highway Corridor, working for two former members of the Board of Supervisors, and serving as the National Marketing Director for the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority.
