Fairfax County, Virginia is home to tens of thousands of people who work for federal agencies and government contractors given its proximity to Washington, D.C.

Now county officials are raising the alarm about the potential economic impact of Trump administration actions targeting agencies and contractors.

“The Trump Administration’s goal of reducing the federal workforce (30 percent of which are veterans) and shrinking the budget through indiscriminate cuts, and without Congressional oversight, threatens our local, regional and statewide economies,” Jeffrey McKay, chairman for Fairfax County’s board of supervisors, wrote in a motion asking Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to act in support of workers in the state.

“I am extremely disappointed that Gov. Youngkin has stated he supports these reckless cuts that undermine our entire Virginia economy,” McKay wrote in the motion. “It is time for Gov. Youngkin to show his support for the thousands of Virginians that are having their livelihoods stripped away, or whose careers are hanging in the balance every day, because of the drastic steps being taken by the Trump Administration.”
