The Town of Washington has a new mayor, and you guessed it—the mayor is a woman. Mrs. Virginia Miller, seated, was elected to this post at the November meeting of the town council. Mrs. Christine Johnston, a council member for many years, was named treasurer to succeed Mrs. Miller. The election came about following the resignation of former mayor Andrew Kozik who moved to Sperryville creating the vacancy. Mrs. Miller had been treasurer for a number of years. Mr. Kozik was the only male mayor since the women took over in 1950. The council also presently has one man, Kermit Weakley, on the council.
