In Virginia, Boards of Supervisors govern counties and each member is elected to a four-year term. Prince Edward County’s Board of Supervisors has eight members, one for each district. In District Four, incumbent supervisor Odessa Pride is running unopposed.
Pride is seeking her third term as District Four supervisor. She first won the position in 2015, defeating one opponent. She then ran unopposed in 2019.
Though Pride is the only candidate certified by the Virginia Department of Elections, voters can write-in other candidates.
Charlottesville Tomorrow designed a questionnaire based on more than 200 responses we received to a voter survey. Pride did not return answers.
