The field of candidates for this fall’s regular elections is set. A couple of late-filing candidates managed to get their paperwork in just ahead of the deadline last Tuesday, June 20, at 7 p.m.
Paula Charleton, a fifth candidate for three Buena Vista School Board seats that come open later this year, filed to get her name on the ballot, as did Joshua L. Fitz, a candidate for mayor of Glasgow.
There are at least two elective offices in the Rockbridge area that will be filled via write-in votes elections because of an insufficiency of candidates – one of Glasgow Town Council members and one county representative on the Natural Bridge Soil and Water Conservation District board.
Here are the elective offices and candidates whose names will appear on the ballots for the Nov. 7 elections: Buena Vista City Council (three seats) – Stanley Coffey, Steve Webb, Michele Casale, Jennifer Humphrey, Cheryl Hickman, Michelle Poluikis, Ronald Cash.
