The ballot is set for the Nov. 7 General Election.
Three seats on the Middlesex County Board of Supervisors are on the ballot, as well as three seats on the Middlesex County School Board. The districts to be contested include Jamaica, Harmony Village and Pinetop.
The deadline to file and qualify as a candidate was June 20 and Melissa D. Welch, Middlesex County’s director of elections and general registrar, said several candidates qualified on the final day.
MC Board of Supervisors candidates
Incumbent Jamaica District representative Wayne H. Jessie Sr. will be challenged by James W. Evans.
Incumbent Reginald A. “Reggie” Williams Sr. is the only supervisor candidate in the Harmony Village District.
Supervisor candidates in the Pinetop District, which includes Deltaville, are Joe A. Heyman and Randall S. “Randy” Crittenden. Crittenden was nominated as a candidate by the Middlesex County Republican Party Committee.
School board
Current Jamaica District School Board representative Elliott W. Reed is seeking another term and will be challenged by Evelyn B. Beaumont.
K. LaMar Gresham and Thomas D. Kennedy are running for the Harmony Village District school board seat. Incumbent Claudia Soucek did not seek another term.
Tiffany A. Robins is running unopposed for the Pinetop District school board seat. Incumbent Garland Harrow did not seek another term.
Conservation District
T. Jacob Kirby and Amy M. Wright Maloney have filed to run for Tidewater District Soil and Water Conservation District Directors. Two directors will be elected.
Constitutional offices
All Middlesex County constitutional offices are on the ballot and include those occupied by Middlesex Sheriff David P. Bushey and Middlesex Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael T. Hurd. Sheriff Bushey and Hurd are running unopposed.
Current Middlesex Clerk of the Circuit Court Rachel K. Hartenbach is seeking re-election to an eight-year term. Hartenbach will be challenged by Michelle Lane Haskiell and Aleena B. “Ally” Ward. Ward was nominated by the Middlesex County Republican Party Committee.
Middlesex Treasurer Traci B. Wright, and Middlesex Commissioner of the Revenue E. Mae Diggs, are running unopposed.
All terms are for four years except for the Clerk of the Circuit Clerk, which is an eight-year term.
General Assembly
Middlesex voters will elect two representatives to the General Assembly.
The 2021 redistricting changed boundary lines and Middlesex County is now in the 25th District of the Virginia Senate and 68th District of the Virginia House of Delegates, said Welch. This November Virginia Senator and Virginia House of Delegates will be on the ballot for the new districts.
With the boundary line changes, current Senator Ryan McDougle no longer lives in the 25th District, which includes Middlesex. A new state senate representative will be elected in November to a four-year term. Qualified candidates for the Virginia Senate are Republican Richard H. Stuart and Democrat Jolicia A. Ward.
Delegate Keith Hodges, R-Urbanna, has qualified as a candidate. He still lives within the 68th District and represents Middlesex County. Delegates serve two-year terms.
