All the hats but one are in the ring for this November’s local elections.
Supervisor J. Newbill Miller is the lone holdout among members of the Board of Supervisors and constitutional officers whose terms expire in December. “I don’t know. I’m undecided now,” said the Hampton District representative last week. Asked when he would make a decision on whether to seek another fouryear term, Mr. Miller repeated “I don’t know,” adding “I’m not on any time table.”
The rest of Rappahannock’s elected officials have already made up their minds.
“I’ve decided to run again,” replied Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. “I hope I receive the same support I’ve eiyoyed these past four years as Commonwealth’s Attorney. I look forward to serving another four.”
“This is tax season. It’s a bad time to be asking if I like the job,” joked Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins. Ms. Atkins was appointed two years ago after her predecessor, Meryl Scroggins, resigned. She then won the post with 70 percent of the vote in a special election last November against two challengers. “We’ve been working hard and we plan to continue doing that,” Ms. Atkins said, in a more serious vein, adding that she enjoyed meeting and serving the people who come through her office. “I will be a candidate in November,” Ms. Atkins affirmed.
The same theme was echoed by Frances Foster, who will mark a quarter century as Rappahannock’s treasurer this April.
