Throughout Virginia, 47 Soil and Water Conservation Districts are tasked with doing just what their name implies: conserving soil and water. They are staffed and governed by boards of directors. 

The Peter Francisco Soil and Water Conservation District, which covers Buckingham and Cumberland counties, has six members. Two are elected from each county, one is appointed by the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Board, and one is appointed as a representative of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service.

Candidate Kevin Dunn, who is on staff at the Piedmont Soil and Water Conservation District, is current board member, while candidate Donna McRae-Jones is a newcomer.

Charlottesville Tomorrow designed a questionnaire for McRae-Jones and Dunn based on more than 200 responses to a voter survey. Neither candidate provided answers.
