Greetings from the Sully District!

 

As the Supervisor for the Sully District, I want to introduce myself and let you know how proud I am to represent our community on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. There is a lot to do as we go forward, and I hope you will contact my staff or me with any ideas or questions. We are here to serve you and to ensure that Sully remains a great place to live, work, and play. 

 

About Supervisor Smith

Kathy Smith has represented the Sully District on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors since January 2016. She currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Board of Supervisors. Kathy chairs the Land Use Policy and Personnel Committees, and is the Vice Chair of the Budget Policy Committee. She began her career as an educator before taking on various roles in public service. Her devotion to the Sully District and fierce commitment to equitable governance remain central to her work on the Board of Supervisors.  

Born in New Jersey, Kathy graduated from Muhlenberg College with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Elementary Education. She worked as a teacher for seven years, teaching first grade in New Jersey and second grade at an International School in Saudi Arabia. She and her husband, Steve, have been Sully District residents since 1984, and their four children attended Fairfax County Public Schools. Kathy’s public service includes serving as the PTA President at Poplar Tree Elementary School, Rocky Run Middle School, and Chantilly High School.  

Kathy was elected to the Fairfax County School Board as the Sully District Representative in 2002 and was elected by her peers to serve as the Chair of the School Board three times during her 14-year tenure. This experience deepened her understanding of the challenges faced by families across Fairfax County and shaped her into a thoughtful decision-maker. 

During her time on the Board of Supervisors, Kathy has been a strong advocate for affordable housing, education funding, transportation improvements, and economic development. She is a firm believer in meeting constituents where they are and finding new ways to connect residents to relevant county resources. Her pragmatic approach is guided by an understanding that Fairfax County’s success is only achievable through carefully balancing the region’s necessary priorities.

Snow Removal: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is responsible for removing snow and ice from the thousands of miles of public roads (interstate, primary and secondary) in Fairfax County. Clearing is done on a priority basis, with interstates and high-volume roads cleared first. Public roadways can typically be identified by a route number sign posted at street intersections. Once the most heavily traveled roads and emergency routes are adequately clear, snow crews move to less-traveled roads and subdivisions. Private streets are the responsibility of the homeowner/ condominium association or property management company to clear. Neither VDOT nor the county clears snow and ice from public walkways (sidewalks and trails). While not legally obligated, residents and businesses are asked to help keep sidewalks safe. HOAs may require members to clear the walkways abutting their property.
