Endorsements
Ken Balbuena is pleased to have earned endorsements from community leaders and key organizations. He is continually seeking additional endorsements from those who believe that Ken is the best for Braddock.
John C. Cook
Former Braddock District Supervisor
The job of district supervisor is first and foremost one of serving the community. I know of no one better in the Braddock District to fill that role than Ken Balbuena. Ken started his service, as did I, with his civic association. He knows the importance of on-the-ground issues like neighborhood speeding, financing local pools, and crime prevention. He understands the balance needed between funding schools and necessary services, and setting the property tax rate at a manageable level. His service on Visit Fairfax and other committees gave him a critical appreciation for the critical need for economic development, which funds our economy and government. Ken is a family man who knows the needs of our families. He is the right person for the job and has my wholehearted support and endorsement.

Current Springfield District Supervisor
Dr. Timothy J. McNiff
Former Catholic School Superintendent
Former Education Nonprofit Executive Director
When residents of Fairfax County migrate to the voting booths, they will have the opportunity to witness at least one candidate who will ensure his campaign is both professional and civil. Ken Balbuena, who is running to be our next Braddock District Supervisor, epitomizes the characteristics of a public servant that are desperately needed today.
​
I have known Ken for nearly 20 years. Our relationship started with my decision to hire him as my executive administrator while I served as a school superintendent. His role in that capacity, coupled with his subsequent professional and civic experiences, has repeatedly demonstrated that Ken checks all the boxes for what it means to be a trusted, reliable public official. His campaign platform, People Before Politics, perfectly captures his priorities while serving the Braddock District. For me, a citizen who is seeking a talented, honest, people-oriented candidate for public office, Ken Balbuena is my choice.
Dan Dusseau
Former College Chief of Police
It is my honor to endorse Ken Balbuena for public office. As a retired Chief of Police with over three decades of service, I have worked alongside many public servants—but few demonstrate the level of integrity, commitment, and approachability that Ken consistently displays. He is a hardworking, honest, and principled leader who genuinely listens to the people he serves and stands firm in his convictions. Ken is a man of the people—always accessible, always sincere, and deeply supportive of public safety and those who wear the badge.
Ken Balbuena understands that effective leadership means being present, building trust, and making decisions rooted in both character and community values. I have every confidence in his ability to serve with distinction and urge others to support his candidacy. He will make an outstanding representative for the people.
