Briana Sewell is a lifelong Virginian, born and raised in Prince William County. Briana is a proud product of Prince William County Public Schools, where she excelled in the classroom and on the soccer field. Upon graduation from high school, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Public Policy from the College of William and Mary and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from American University. Instead of taking a corporate job in a big city after college, Briana made the conscious decision to move back to Prince William County and dedicate her life to strengthening the community through public service. She first served as Prince William County District Director for Congressman Gerry Connolly, leading the office in local community engagement, and providing strong constituent services.
When Briana ran for Delegate in 2021, many declared the competitive district unwinnable. Despite the odds, Briana was elected and became one of the youngest women ever to serve in state Government. As a Delegate, Briana quickly became one of the most productive first-term members – passing legislation that was rooted in the stories she heard from around her district: laws increasing support for military families and veterans, adding more teachers to the classroom, and expanding protections for child victims of sexual assault. Every bill passed with bipartisan support.
Briana is running for Congress to represent and amplify regular people’s voices in Washington. She will fight for both the kitchen table concerns that are top-of-mind for Virginians every day, the right for women to make their own health care decisions, the right to vote, and for other fundamental rights politicians have tried to take away.
