These offices are in addition to state elections, including the gubernatorial election.  More about state elections will be published shortly.

If you are interested in running as a candidate for one of those local government seats, this Local Candidate Bulletin will spell out the required documents, costs, if any, and filing deadlines.

Reeve Ashcraft has already announced publically that he will not run for school board re-election from district 2 and it is assumed that Bill Robertson will run for re-election for the District 2 Board of Supervisor seat.  Bill Robertson identifies as a Republican and school board members run as non-partisan, though Reeve Ashcraft identifies as a Republican.

Dear Prince George Democrats & Friends:

Should a locality require certain or all employees  to reside within the locality?  This issue is arising again in Hopewell as the Hopewell City Council seeks to fill the City Attorney position question.  The question relates to other city positions as well.

The Prince George Democrat is not clear on the policy in other area localities, but is particularly interested in the Prince George policy on this question.

Read the article and then answer the question by submitting a comment to this article on the question.
