On May 2, 2000 Charlottesville held elections for three seats on the City Council.
City Council
One of the issues in the race was the future of the Meadowcreek Parkway. The group Democrats for Change formed to oppose its construction. That group also sought to move to a directly-elected Charlottesville mayor. [1]
Republicans who ran that year also opposed the parkway. The committee nominated Jon Bright, Elizabeth Fortune and John Pfaltz. The Democrats nominated incumbents Maurice Cox and Meredith Richards as well as newcomer Kevin Lynch. [1]
| Candidates | Votes | % |
|---|---|---|
| Maurice Cox (D) incumbent | 2,931 | 56.15 |
| Meredith Richards (D) incumbent | 2,734 | 52.38 |
| Kevin Lynch (D) | 2,723 | 52.16 |
| Jon Bright (R) | 1,946 | 37.28 |

Voters could cast three votes, one for each of the three seats available, hence the percentages do not total 100%.
