Only official candidates declared with the registrar or who have made an official announcement are included above. Charlottesville Tomorrow is a non-partisan organization covering local elections.


On November 8, 2011, voters in Charlottesville and Albemarle County will go to the polls for municipal elections, and to participate in Commonwealth-wide races for the Virginia General Assembly.

Candidate selection and registration

Political parties not holding a primary must select their nominees sometime between June 25, 2011 and August 23, 2011.[1]

Primary elections have been delayed due to mandated redistricting[2]. The Charlottesville Democratic Committee had originally announced it would hold a firehouse primary on May 14, 2011 to choose its candidates[3], but will now hold that event at Burley Middle School on August 20, 2011.

Independent candidates must submit petition signatures and filing paperwork by August 23, 2011[2].

Albemarle County races

In Albemarle County, elections will be held for members of the Board of Supervisors and the Albemarle County School Board in three districts. County voters will also decide the at-large school board seat, sheriff, Commonwealth's Attorney, as well as a Director for the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District.

Board of Supervisors

Supervisors will be elected from the Rivanna, Scottsville and White Hall magisterial districts.

Rivanna District

On May 12, Republican incumbent Kenneth C. Boyd from the Rivanna district announced that he would run for re-election at a news conference.[4]

Scottsville District

Lindsay Dorrier announced on March 23, 2011 that he would not seek another term as Supervisor from Scottsville District, creating an open seat.[5] The seat is now being sought by Christopher J. Dumler. On June 2, James C. Norwood announced that he would be running as a Republican for the seat.[6]

White Hall District

From the White Hall district, Ann Mallek launched her bid for re-election at a press conference on January 13, 2011.[7] No one has filed for the seat April 2. [8]

School Board

At-Large Seat

University of Virginia Doctoral Candidate Ned L. Gallaway is a candidate for the at-large seat.[9] On May 25, Cindi Burket, a former substitute teacher, announced that she would also run for the at-large seat.[10]

Scottsville District

From the Scottsville district, Steve Koleszar announced his bid for re-election on February 24, 2011.[citation needed]

White Hall District

On May 19, Barbara Massie Mouly, the incumbent from White Hall, announced she will run for re-election.[11]

Commonwealth's Attorney

Denise Lunsford, incumbent Commonwealth Attorney, announced her run for re-election February 10 2011[12].

Charlottesville races

Charlottesville's general election will include races for two seats on City Council, four seats on the Charlottesville School Board, and Charlottesville Clerk of Court , as well as a Director for the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District.

City Council

The seats occupied by David Brown, Holly Edwards, and Satyendra Huja are up for election. After a March 25 announcement Huja[13] is the sole incumbent to seek re-election. In December 2010 Brown announced he does not plan to seek re-election[14] , and in February 2011 Holly Edwards followed suit[15].

Scott Bandy was the first registered candidate for this election as an independent.[16] Bob Fenwick has declared his independent candidacy. [17] A socialist candidate, Brandon Collins, announced on his website that he will run. [18] Likewise, Alvin Scott Bandy and Andrew Williams have announced that they will run as independents.[19][20]


The Charlottesville Democratic Committee will hold a firehouse primary on August 20, 2011 to choose three candidates for the November election.[3] Announced candidates for the primary include:

School board

Four seats are available, including the incumbent seats of Kathleen M. Galvin, Colette E. Blount, and Llezelle A. Dugger and the vacant seat of former member Alvin Edwards, filled by Guian McKee, as of 2011.

Clerk of Court

Four-term incumbent Paul Garrett will face Democratic primary challenges from Llezelle Dugger and Pam Melampy[citation needed].
