| Info | Bruce Roemmelt
Bruce has dedicated his life to public service and plans to continue that service by becoming the next Delegate from Virginia's 13th district. He lives with his wonderful wife, Beth, and their dog, an Airedale named Sam, on Bull Run Mountain. Bruce and Beth's daughter, Spencer, is a Human Resource manager for a health care system in Minneapolis. Bruce has lived in Prince William County since 1976 and built his home in 1988. He has a very simple set of values: Be Nice, Survive, and Prevent Harm.
Fire Fighter: Bruce spent 21 years as a Prince William County fire fighter, eventually retiring as a Captain in 1993 due to heart disease. After undergoing quadruple bypass surgery, Bruce found a new lease on life and was ready to continue his service to the public. Bruce's love of fire fighting stems from his strong commitment to serving his community and began when he joined the local volunteer department while still in high school. Throughout his career, Bruce sought to be both a leader and a friend to his fellow fire fighters. Although currently retired, he continues his relationship with the fire service. Bruce is an active member of the local fire fighter's union and conducts seminars across the country for Lieutenants and Captains, helping them to build the skills necessary to be effective managers.
Educator: As an adjunct professor for the George Washington University, Bruce understands the value of education. Bruce began his own education in the early 1970s, earning two associates degrees from Northern Virginia Community College and Lord Fairfax Community College. He later went on to earn his Master's degree in Education from George Washington University and is currently finishing his EdD in the same subject. Bruce Roemmelt recognizes the importance of education and will seek new ways to help Virginia's citizens earn the skills needed to prosper in the 21st century. Of particular interest to Bruce is enhancing the Virginia Community College system and expanding Distance Learning opportunities for all adults - both efforts will benefit Virginians and the economy of the Commonwealth.
Veteran: Bruce volunteered to serve his country in 1966 through the United States Navy and was assigned to the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier based in Norfolk. Bruce served one year in Vietnam, where he was a flight deck fire fighter. He earned numerous medals for his service, including the National Defense Service Medal and the Vietnam Service Medal.

Bruce is a regular guy who believes that the quality of life in our community can be improved through his efforts, passion, and energy. He wants to serve all the citizens of the 13th district.
